Greeted by a cookie banner in a different language when I open. I swear cookie banners are the biggest problem facing the internet. We need to do something about this!
- lexicality 2y agohonestly it's got to the point that any time I get a cookie banner more complicated than yes/no I immediately revoke JS privileges for that website. At least ublock origin makes that easy, but it's still ridiculous. On the bright side, French courts have ruled that this kind of cookie popup is illegal under the GDPR so maybe they'll slowly be destroyed
- belorn 2y agoEU created a task force in 2021 to address the cookie banner, which gave a report last year that basically said that all current form of cookie banners are practically not legal in terms of giving consent. As with this kind of regulations, we now have to wait for the law suits to target a few select large companies, then the courts to reconfirm that the regulations says what it says, and then appeals, and then finally the large companies will pay a large fine and then comply, followed then by the industry in large. Delay, delay and then delay some more has been the response from the data collection industry for the past 10 years. Same for right to repair regulations and smartphones.
