RyanCaoDev··on The plight of those who do not live under strict privacy laws
In my opinion, cookie banners mean that you have an active choice of whether or not you want any data to be stored in your browser and whether you want to be statefully tracked or just retain basic functionality.

Everyone has a different threat model; but it should be up to us to decide what we want rather than not having the choice.

Yeah, a lot of companies still aren't willing to fully comply with these laws... but having them does make it a lot better.

I've had a few companies ask me for a government issued ID for proof of residence within the EEA or in California; that's just horrible behavior from every perspective.

it's still very much in beta, but the UI is wonderful and import & export are very easy to use!
