Cookie pop-ups are mandatory so you need something.

  No, they are only mandatory if you use third party cookies and tracking platforms. Consent is not necessary for strictly functional first party cookies. Session and shop cart cookies are examples of that. This very site you are commenting on doesn't need a cookie consent form/popup for example. The presence of a cookie banner in the first place is a sign that the website you are visiting is run by a bad actor who is into selling your profile and browsing data.

    It should be said again and again that: 1. There’s no law requiring a cookie popup. 2. In Europe, most Cookie popup are, in fact, completely illegal 3. Most cookie popup come from the same actor who designed them to be, on purpose, as annoying as possible in order to decrease the popular support for the EU GDPR law. https://www.bitecode.dev/p/there-is-no-eu-cookie-banner-law https://www.bitecode.dev/p/there-is-no-eu-cookie-banner-law

      Is there a central place to report bad actors for #2 so the EU goes after them?
