"we and our 864 partners"
864!!!!? Who knew? In the US maybe it is 200,000 partners? And be sure to click on the "learn more" button to find out all the information that will be collected, how information will be stored on your device, etc.
The article itself was in my opinion uninteresting. Written by someone in high school? When you take out all the links, and click-ables there is less content than the comments on hacker news!! I have to say the comments here are much more informative and interesting.
And right now this is the TOP article on hacker news. Double WOW!!! The internet today! Who knew? This is hilarious!

- baybayblonde 2y agoHey Jdietrich, I posted a while ago about being banned of Airbnb and you suggested to use GDPR to make a request to the DPO. It worked, the account is "unbanned". Many thanks for you suggestion and vive le GDPR (writing you here because my original post was flagged so no more comment can be added).
- Doxin 2y agoIt's a legal requirement only if you use cookies for nefarious nonsense like ad tracking. You're allowed to store login cookies etc just fine with no need for a popup and similar purposes.
- consteval 2y agoThe MBAs who are drafting these requirements don't know that. They're still confused on how double chocolate chunk is making its way into a web browser. They'll always just prioritize marketing, so put the banners and who cares.
