Do you have an example of a maliciously-complying website? Virtually all remotely popular websites deliberately use unnecessary cookies.

  Wanting to use unnecessary cookies is their choice, not something a law forced on them. Non-malicious compliance with privacy laws would mean respecting people's privacy.

    Maybe I'm ignorant of the gdpr, but does it ban tracking cookies?
    • yencabulator 1mo ago
      You might be ignorant on purpose. The law does not mention cookies at all, it says how personal/private information must be handled, and under what conditions collecting such is permissible.
      • beej71 1mo ago
        Yes, but this exchange is in the context of cookies, as you brought up in your comment. And we're talking about companies maliciously complying with the cookie pop-up mechanism, are we not?

          The cookie pop up is a response to the ePrivacy directive, not GDPR.
