Let'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..

Europe’s cookie law messed up the internet. Brussels wants to fix it.

The European Commission wants to take a bite out of privacy rules that force websites to run cookie banners.

@vmbrasseur I believe this a manipulation. There are other options how to solve it but companies CHOSE ugly banners instead. But good luck to people who want to fix current state.
