Yeah making everyone waste time on every site with the cookies warnings is something we should all be grateful for the EU.

- eastbound 2y agoWhile the GDPR was le grand coup, it’s sad they can’t revert mistakes. Which begs the question: Why doesn’t every site put the EU flag as a background of the cookie banner, until the EU reckons?
- troupo 2y agoNothing in the law requires these obnoxious banners. It's the companies who decided that they want to sell your data to thousands of trackers. When will the industry reckon?
- trilbyglens 2y agoI wish there were browser apis for cookie prefs already. Just set it at the browser and all sites just use that setting. But of course Google can't do that since they want people to be bombarded by cookie banners and agitate for an end to GDPR
- exceptione 2y agoReckons what? No one forced site owners to suck out personal information from customers to sell them to the highest bidder. A normal, human respecting website doesn't even need a consent banner. People are normalizing egregious behavior.
- immibis 2y agoUntil the public demands the EU to revert the tracking cookie law because the public is stupid.
- bobim 2y agoThe dark patterns to make the rejection 5 clicks while acceptance is just 1 click are not the responsibility of EU.
- immibis 2y agoActually they are. It was ruled that if you can accept all in one click, you must be able to reject all in one equally easy, equally prominent click, or you're violating the law.
- bobim 2y agoHa nice! They should start to enforce then, because what you get is "accept" and "configure", and if you select the latter here starts the click galore.
- miki123211 2y agoThey do enforce, but only if they already dislike you for other reasons. See their cases against Meta, for example.
- immibis 2y agoThere's also basically nothing they can do again foreign websites.
