this. and honestly I wish more websites followed the “serve under gdpr or don’t have a European marker”. A random blog once wasn’t available in the EU because of GDPR. And you know what? It’s better than them violating GDPR and the EU doing nothing.

I’m pretty sure breaking your website with no cookies is against the rules, actually. It’s either serve the EU with GDPR-compliance or GTFO entirely.
Yeah, you could still just break the law, but as usual there’s a cost to that one way or the other.

It’s more about the big boys. If they act in a way that breaks the GDPR, now the EU has a stick to hit them with.

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!

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.
