i would like this EU law changed to be basically the following:
all cookies popups must conform to a standard of showing at least all of and not reasonably more than the following: >THIS SITE USES COOKIES >[Learn more] >Reject All (More privacy) >Accept All (Less privacy)
One cookie is allowed to be stored by all such sites and that cookie must be used exclusively for remembering the users choice
The cookies popup must not cover or otherwise block access or viewership of content on the webpage
this would solve my issue with the cookies thing. I hate having to dig through settings to turn them off.
it's literally worthless virtue signalling, I don't give a frick, if I want cookies gone I will just use an extension for it, except now I'm forced to use an extension just to get back what was already a thing before which was me not having to give a frick

yes, but if it was legally required to actually not track under punishment of real prison time for the devlopers and every staffer above them that was privy to it
i understand this will never happen, but it'd be nice if there were consequences for unethical behaivour
the idea was that cookie banners would be the exception and seeing one should annoy you to use a competitor without one
then somehow every site decided they were gonna just deal with the banner and nothing changed
i kinda think the browser itself should ask you for cookie consent like it does notification and location consent, but it would probably ask you 18927 times with the way these fricking suits move. frick you you're just a website frick you
You already have options to deny them, believe it or not you have full control over cookies on your system through whatever means you prefer, you can not accept them in the first place or use extensions to manage them or just manually delete the files.
All this law did is force all websites to add annoying fricking pop ups that pisses everyone off. If you do care about cookies you already manage them yourself and the options you can select in this popup has no impact, if you don't care about cookies then the options you can select in this popup doesn't matter to you.
This is literally pointless and just makes things worse for everyone.
Prettymuch
Exact same with the GDPR

kys yourself asap
The most sad/amusing thing about these popups is that 99.999% of the population still have no idea what any of this means and just click the "make it go away" button.
Frick the EU.
Frick the botnet.
Frick advertisers.
There are sites that uses 1000 ad companies because internet ads only pay less of 0.1 cents by clickb or interaction. Most routers now came with basic adblocking and you ad is ignored
Why is IQfy so fricking tech illiterate summertimes?

Cookie autodelete remove all cookies and other add-on remove the modal popups
And why they are called "cookies" ? I prefer "useless 100 bytes textfile"

i prefer the awareness but i'd rather have none and be done with it
perhaps remove the site-by-site rule and make it browser-based, do you want any cookies or not
Yep, this is the way. Just have the browser add a header to the request to pre-accept all cookies.
you mean pre-deny all cookies

The internet is used by everyone now. Don't forget that about half of all people are below average intelligence.
why do I care if people below average intelligence get abused? This already happens, it's called wagies.
e.g. *.exchange.com, they've done it right imo. small ignorable box in the bottom left and you can deny all
