Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be

  No, it’s the website’s fault. You only need explicit consent if you’re tracking users beyond what your service obviously requires to function, the problem is these sites are stalking you.

  And if it’s even slightly harder to decline than to accept they’re likely not in compliance anyway so it’s definitely not the EU’s fault.

    Of course it’s the website fault, but just like government don’t let companies do whatever they want (all the time) the have to force websites to not do certain things, a warning certainly doesn’t do much when people keep clicking “accept”

      It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.

        It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.

        Some don’t give you an option, but actually have a much cleaner interface imo.

        Whether or not it’s better since you still have to click OK, some don’t let you reject them at all.

  Sure, but can we at least agree that 800 “partners” is a tad too much?

    Of course, the problem is they shouldn’t have gone for a warning, they should have gone against the practice of having 800 partners.
