why blame the rule and not the people adding tracking and cookies without reason? You don't need those dumb banners if you don't try to cram cookies in everything

Somehow, someway, I suspect basically every that operates in the EU has thought more about the requirements of EU regulations than the internet know it all's that insist the consent forms are unnecessary.

  • it's not about being a know it all, it's a regulation you can look up.

    Look here: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ > Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies

    If you don't use cookies or they're stricly necessary, no need for a banner.

    Many websites work perfectly fine without a banner, for example, Hacker News.
