@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”

@JeffreyJDean @erisceleste @susipsych installed! But I went to stackoverlog and still got it :-)
@Migueldeicaza @erisceleste @susipsych
I gave the github repo because that’s where the plugin itself directs you.
@JeffreyJDean @erisceleste @susipsych thanks, I got it, installed and enabled. Maybe this is a site that doesn’t work on iOS.
