Welcome to the EU web:
@gruber These cookie prompts ruined the web.
@simonbs @gruber and they didn’t have to. Cookie banners are intentionally designed to get people to click “accept”. The _ethically_ correct thing is to not collect identifying data at all until it is required for your user, then ask. Instead we get this. I spend part of my professional life helping companies suck less in this area. It’s an uphill struggle. Most don’t _want_ to understand. Easier to throw a cookie banner at it and pretend you’ve acted ethically. #privacy #consent
@bratling @simonbs @gruber If you click through to the details on some cookie popups then it will list all the "uses". I've seen websites that are selling your data to over *500* companies. THAT is what ruined the web.
