@jwildeboer The Cookie Banner stuff drives me nuts. They pop these big forms in our face just to force us to click "OK" to get them to go away, and falsely blame GDPR for the mess. It's Trumpian tactics. I hope EU starts to sanction sites that does this.

@veronica @jwildeboer I know it's not so straightforward, but the GDPR rules should have stipulated that sites must respect the Do Not Track (DNT) option in the browser. No pop-ups needed.

But yes, they did a shitty implementation and its annoying and it’s intentionally annoying so you just accept tracking cookies that you didn't really want.

@matt @jwildeboer I mean, it doesn't really matter what I click, because I use an addon to block the cookies anyway, but for work it's less straightforward as we are not allowed addons on the work computer.

@matt @veronica And wehen that didn't work good enough, the ad industry happily found out that almost all of their tracking can be defined as "legitimate interest" (spoiler alert: that's not what legitimate interest means under EU regulations).
