    And before you blame the EU, the Cookie Directive does not require them just to set a cookie.

    no consent is needed for non-privacy intrusive cookies improving internet experience (e.g. to remember shopping cart history) or cookies used by a website to count the number of visitors.

    It pisses me off how dumb and herd-like these wordpress website assholes always are.

    I don't suppose it tips them off that no government sites have cookie warnings but set cookies anyway.

    I thought I was in Half Baked and you were talking about the warnings they have on the edible cookies. Those big warnings are needed though. Every once in a while I do too much and I end up passing out in a pool of my own sweat. I always wake up feeling like a different person.

    Yes, fuck yes, I fucking hate cookie warnings with a passion. They do nothing and waste everyone's time.

    the only thing they should be concerned with is cross-domain data tracking like facebook's pixel and the like

    I'm glad I use a phone from last century (still haven't upgraded). Those warning pop ups kinda fail at most sites when I stop the page from loading fully or they only fill a portion of my screen so I can still read the site.

    Fuck the internet, man. It has failed us. It has failed the common man and is now just a tool for the elite to fuck us over. I have no doubt that you tech people will move over to the dark side sooner or later, either. Pretty sure I'll get in legal trouble over NIS shitposting in the future.

    *sigh*
