European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying

[R00sT3R]

The amount of 'Stockholm Syndrome' on display in this thread when it comes to the EU, is truly remarkable.

..get up off your knees, they're really not worth it.

All the concern over freaking cookies, crazy. If you're worried, just purge them ALL, it's very easy and takes seconds. The EU bureaucrats create laws to justify their existence and to extort cash from American companies in the form of "fines".

Thank God!

Perfect example of government intervention tho: good intentions with terrible unintended results.

Cobra effect ?

Ads on mobile are the absolute worst. Banners on the bottom, video auto playing in the top right corner, ad in between paragraphs, tiny close (X) buttons all on a 6" screen at the same time. The greed is insane.

It’s less greed and more desperation to make any money.

Advertising doesn’t work nearly as well as people think. The internet just made ad performance tracking possible to show that fact. This drove down what companies would pay for ads causing the bad attempts to make them work better.

Ah yes.. the overreach of attempting to give people control over their personal information… such evil cannot be tolerated!

Yeah, perhaps they'll start opposing your electric vehicle gathering data on you, or your phone, or perhaps oppose the CBDC, carbon credit score, or all the surveillance cameras watching us next.
Nah, just kidding. I'm sure they really, really care about protecting our personal information.

How undemocratic of the EU - they don't line the kids up every day to swear allegiance to the flag - now that's democracy.

Allowing foreign companies from say Saudi Arabia- to lower the water table in whole counties to grow alfalfa for their sheep and cows back home, leaving local growers farms in tatters, that democracy.
Having your local river on fire is excellent.
USA has good and bad regs like everyone else - they get improved over time

Stop being a shrill for Fox and Mega corps who just feed you BS to exploit you easier and make you love it.

I no fan of the EU , they have implemented many things with huge unintended consequence- some meaning more exploitation of the developing world.

But there's a reason California and the EU is richer than the republican States .
Theirs a reason why republican states are the biggest drain on federal monies - as they allow workers pay to dwindled , benefits to fall beside the wayside, health outcomes and drug addiction to skyrocket, lots of not well supported one parent families they don't care about once the baby is born.

It's embarrassing reading people raving how wonderful it is to be exploited -Nearly impossible in US to jail directors in mega corps for killing - Sacklers killed hundreds of thousands , they still live as billionaires.
Towns left as toxic dumps , high cancer, corps didn't pay a cent , they tax payer picks up the bill.

But yes don't have to visit annoying sites, even my chrome removes all cookies on a refresh, so doesn't really matter too much.

Breaking news: US states with access to international trading ports are richer than landlocked states.
