While the GDPR was le grand coup, it’s sad they can’t revert mistakes. Which begs the question: Why doesn’t every site put the EU flag as a background of the cookie banner, until the EU reckons?
No one forced site owners to suck out personal information from customers to sell them to the highest bidder. A normal, human respecting website doesn't even need a consent banner.
I wish there were browser apis for cookie prefs already. Just set it at the browser and all sites just use that setting. But of course Google can't do that since they want people to be bombarded by cookie banners and agitate for an end to GDPR
