@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
Not really about selling your data. Most of it because they show you ads, and that requires third party cookies.
Sometimes my IP is seen as from the EU and I can tell you it's a horrible experience.
I use incognito, and the popups are insane!
The only way you can browse is by accepting these cookies, and it's almost impossible to browse incognito, in other words it's doing the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

@samir @wolfpld @ocornut

no, it's a great experience, it allows you to tell nasty people to go eff themselves and they have to obey or a government authority gets to hammer home the point

unlike shitty places like china, the us and russia

@troglodyt
no, it's not a great experience, only think great because you actually leak your data by not browsing incognito. Try using incognito and you will realize how terrible it is (you have to reject every time!)

Gives a sense of false security, because the majority doesn't even care about the law and they sell your data, so the bad guys are laughing . Absolutely the opposite of the intent of the law

@samir

not sure why you're lying about this

i use ephemeral cookie storage all the time and reject data collection all the time, it's great. it's also pretty rare that i have to snitch on corps due to illegal third party sharing

@troglodyt lol you either persist your consent ( aka have cookies enabled ) or you don't
Why do I need to lie? I am saying the laws are useless. The data brokers are happily selling your data and you don't even know it, because those who sell your data will not even ask for xoncent

But let's keep those heads in the sand

@samir

ah, you sell such exploitation to big corporations

that explains your weird fud:ing

kindly fuck off until you get a decent employment

@troglodyt
It sounds like rude people have moved from Twitter to here!

That's OK, I blocked people like you on Twitter, and I can do it here too
