If you could magically make
everyone everywhere instantly understand and integrate one concept related to data privacy,
which one would it be?

That EU law does not require a #CookieBanner unless the web site wants to track your clicks or sell your data.
Because people do not understand this, they think "stupid EU law" instead of...
- "website owner has no respect for consumer rights"
- "website owner has no solid business plan and just hopes for a few bucks from the advertisement industry"
Ash_Crow@tynstar @Em0nM4stodon you can track clicks without necessarily needing a cookie banner. Plausible or a properly configured Matomo will do just that.
On the other hand, if you need to embed contents from sites such as YouTube, Twitter or Facebook, whose embeds have trackers, you need to ask for consent before loading those embeds, and a cookie banner is a common way to do that.
Diogo Constantino@Ash_Crow @tynstar @Em0nM4stodon you need to ask consent, if you include those, and don't care or want users to be tracked. It's the website developer/owner who wants to do that. That is the point being made.
