Comment on European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying
Nyfure@kbin.social 5 months agoYou dont need a cookie banner if you dont want to invasively track the users.
So its really the fault of the websites for wanting to use categories of cookies which do require a banner (ad and tracking).

Indeed
Plenty of websites that don’t have a cookie banner like Wikipedia and Lemmy. And both of them are completely legal.
It is only after the cookie banner that we now know how many websites are actually selling our data, turns out it is the grand majority of them.

Yup. What most people do not get. Wikipedia, Lemmy and others only need consent when they start processing personal data, like in the registration form.
Clicking “agree” on a banner on first visit is like creating an account with IP address acting like a login.
