How does that make the EU regulation something bad? The bad thing is that the companies are willing to bombard us with the worst possible cookie banners, in order to monetize our visits.
Maybe the next EU regulation should be to prohibit those banners and allow companies to add a small toggle somewhere on their site so we can toggle it to allow them to set 3rd-party cookies.
The EU's own government websites [1] are littered with the same cookie banners. They want the visitor data just as bad as everyone else.
> Maybe the next EU regulation
We don't need anymore EU regulations seeing how bad and thoughtless they already are.
Try and speak for yourself. No need to speak on everyone's behalf, this is disingenuous.
Sure, I don't understand why they don't remove it if they know that an average-iq'd person would accept only essential cookies, but that cookie banner belongs to the top 5% of friendly cookie banners.
I was talking about those you find on the typical website, usually news sites, who make them as annoying as possible.
