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 why do I need a stupid cookie banner to stay logged in on a website? It’s always about the “selling your data” straw man for you people. Admit it. That was a bad law that made the internet a little worse for everyone.

@Beirutspring @vmbrasseur the shocking answer is you don’t need a cookie banner for that functionality

@Beirutspring @vmbrasseur here is a legally compliant login screen mockup, you only need those stupid banners or similar IF you're storing cookies for ALL users, not just those that login.
