I think you missed the point of his comment. It's not merely that users don't care. It's that most users don't even understand what a popup is saying. The average user doesn't know what a cookie or a plugin is.

I think the problem is the flimsy line between dialect and language. I remember getting into an argument years ago about this, that dialects can be so thick that you might as well as be listening to someone speaking another language. A frie

This coincides with a podcast interview I listened to with a renowned CPA. He said that the existing tax code in the U.S. is set almost entirely to incentivize growth, entrepreneurship, and investment. So, the tax code is full of all kinds
