      To be honest I’m just praying your regulators make laws so draconian that it ripples over here and improves things indirectly. That seems to be all we can hope for anymore. 😔

            Tbf the law doesn’t even mention cookie banners. The industry has just chosen, feely, that this is the way that they want to inform and collect consent. There’s nothing forcing them into doing so in such an intrusive way.

              Yeah, ideally all of those would be opt-in and hidden is settings somewhere. But no, they wanted it to be opt-out so clueless people will just click through whatever the default is.
