European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying::undefined
Correct. That’s what OP is saying. If websites want to use tracking cookies, they’ll have to deal with the consequence of being annoying to their visitors. I’m completely okay with that. Though I’d welcome an alternative.
If websites were nicer about it, I would consider being tracked. So, a small banner consistently saying “Hey can we track you?” in which the default answer is “no” when you hit escape (as opposed to “WE ARE USING COOKIES TO TRACK YOU!!! CLICK SETTINGS TO DISABLE THIS!”), then I might click “yes” every now and then.
To quote republicans, if “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts, every day would be Xmas. There’s no way that’ll ever hold. Just like there’s no way video game companies will be less greedy, or box other corporation
