@ocornut EU cookie law is not the problem. You don't need to ask for consent for essential cookies, like the ones that store your login session ID or the shopping cart in a web store.

Every time you see the cookie popup, it's about selling your browsing data to third parties.

We see these popups everywhere and the reasoning is "the EU did something stupid", but it's the opposite. They caught the thieves red-handed.

"We value your privacy." Yeah, no shit. By putting a monetary value on it.

@wolfpld @ocornut thanks. I didn’t realize this.

Tapping deny from now on. I was tapping accept purely on the grounds of “well this will break otherwise”

@erisceleste @Migueldeicaza Well Miss, you should be getting the toot of the month award.

This extension solves a major annoyance with a bunch of bad actors: only "accept" upfront and forcing you to open a menu to put all buttons on reject.

Thank you!!

@zorangrbic @erisceleste @Migueldeicaza especially when it forgets what you clicked between pages. So every time you navigate, it asks you again, and you have to do the whole thing again.
