John GruberWelcome to the EU web:
Simon B. Støvring@gruber These cookie prompts ruined the web.

Sören@SloanStudio @simonbs @gruber a German judge has ruled that if an Accept All button exists, a Reject All button needs to be equally prominent. So this particular banner design can get you in legal trouble.

GOV.UK sites are better:
If you don't like these banners, there are analytics solutions that do not require cookie banners. But site owners are lazy and unimaginative, and they don't like their users very much, so they foist an enshittied experience on them to avoid designing a good experience.
Beanie MacIntosh@charlesroper @chucker @SloanStudio @simonbs @gruber I’m sick of the UK gov telling us Scot’s we have to leave EU We can’t do recycling, can’t grant trans people some measure of equality and can’t legislate drugs laws to improve the health of our citizens and society. WM hasn’t yet said we must stop continuing to give the £20 week universal credit uplift or free prescriptions but it just a matter of time
@BeanieMacIntosh Fair enough, but that's got nothing to do with cookie banners.
The UK government isn't telling Scots you have to leave the EU - you already have, along with the rest of the UK back in January 2020.
But most Brits now see Brexit as the unmitigated disaster half of us always said it would be, so hopefully we will continue to move back and ultimately rejoin in some form.
@charlesroper 62% of Scots voted to remain in the EU and in 2014 many Scots were persuaded to vote to remain in the UK because it was the only way we could be guarantee of remaining in the EU. We were dragged out by UKIP sentiments that never caught on in 🏴 but turned our southern neighbours into something rather unpleasant
@BeanieMacIntosh Like I say, an unmitigated disaster.
@charlesroper or an opportunity for change if you have an electorate and a political party that are both committed to it
