VM (Vicky) BrasseurLet's be clear here: The law is NOT to blame for cookie banners.
The blame lies with companies that would rather inconvenience you with a banner than respect your privacy by not collecting (and selling) your data..
lj·rk@vmbrasseur oof, that's bad reporting by politico here. As you say, the law didn't demand this crap. And the 'proposal' they cite...
> to drop consent banners for cookies collecting data “for technically necessary functions”
... that's already there. You don't need a cookie banner for that. Ugh
Elias Mårtenson@ljrk @vmbrasseur and the banner doesn't even comply. It's designed to be annoying for users and also blame the law.
And that strategy seems to have succeeded given how many people believe it.
Daniel Schildt@loke @ljrk @vmbrasseur Part of Google services have some of the most annoying "cookie notice" banners that don't allow anyone to modify anything, but only want to show a full screen wide notification that they will track everyone regardless of the laws. At least they are honest about not caring to comply.
