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.

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
