The worst part is, after all this time, most users are desensitized by all the banners and ads that pop up so they click whatever button they can to get rid of it. I’m guilty of it myself.
This isn’t the privacy solution we needed. It hasn’t changed the way users are tracked — it’s only annoyed people. The law needs to be reshaped to punish abusive companies, not users.
California has a warning for cancer-causing chemicals and sites. It's called the Prop 65 Warning.
