EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.
I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.
I'm pretty sure breaking your website with no cookies is against the rules, actually. It's either serve the EU with GDPR-compliance or GTFO entirely.
Yeah, you could still just break the law, but as usual there's a cost to that one way or the other.
Tons of companies break the cookie law already, but enforcement seems to be rare
What's the cookie law?
The cookie consent banner has to allow you to opt out of cookies as easily as accepting them
Almoat true, it actually has to be a opt in system, opt out is illegal already!
Yeah, I think it has to default to off but I believe the banner they show shouldn't make it harder to continue with it being off rather than turning it on
