    I’m pretty sure the form is there exactly because GDPR needs it to be.

    Also I’m not villanising it, I’m villanising the corporations who only pretend to comply.

    How does GDPR affect EU cookie law?

    Recital 30 of the General Data Protection Regulation considers cookies as part of personal data. It requires websites and web publishers to obtain valid consent when collecting personal data from users. Therefore, the GDPR and Cookie Law work in tandem in the European Union

      This particular instance of a cookie notice is really bad. The gdpr is there for a reason and a lot of websites can come up with better solutions to that cookie law.

        Yeah, my point exactly.

        This one sucks.

        I like the option of opting out, and way too many websites uses shenanigans to get you to accept implicitly or explicitly. And even when you don’t they hide “legitimate interest” checkmarks everywhere and you have to scroll a 100 miles to do them.

        I still do.

        But sites in which you can’t even scroll to see the “refuse” bit? Haiyaaaaaa
