You think that's bad then imagine how much GDPR compliance costs... As a European who works in tech and has implemented many cookie banners, I am broadly in favour of GDPR, but I think we need to take a more reasonable approach with smaller companies because it's a huge overhead if you're trying to build a product and you've only got 2-3 technical people on a team. I also think the type of data held is important. I'm much more concerned about companies which hold significant amounts of sensitive data about me, especially when that data was collected via my behaviour and activity rather than collected from me in a form. I have no problem with a local recruiter keeping my CV and phone number on hand to contact me if a job matches my profile, but a local recruiter and Google are treated the same under GDPR.
