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.
Tons of companies break the cookie law already, but enforcement seems to be rare
Doesn't enforcement work by letting competitors sue you if you don't follow the rules for these things?
What's the cookie law?
No cookies before dinner.
If websites want to track you through cookies, they have to ask for permission.
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
I've heard stories about some of the big guys getting hit with sizable GDPR fines. I don't really know the full extent of what they do but I do imagine there's someone that makes it their job to prosecute GDPR violations.
