> Have cookie consent pop ups made the web better?

Those that are compliant have. 99% of them are still noncompliant so I think it's too soon for a ruling yet. If this law is actually enforced then websites will only have choices of 1) compliant banners/popups in which few will consent 2) finding alternative business models 3) going out of business.

Right now, most sites do 4) just be noncompliant for now because 1..3 means we go out of business anyway.

This is still a work in progress.
