How so? The law doesn't require cookie banners. However, you could argue that tracking/advertisement cookies should have been banned completely and that the law is flawed in that it allows for tracking given user "consent".
I love the EU apologists - “it wasn’t a bad law just because the outcome was bad”
The alternative being to bend over and grab our ankles with both hands the moment the scummy ad-tech industry requests our data?
Sorry mate, the GDPR is there for a bloody good reason; and legit companies obey the law.
The GDPR is theater. An effective privacy law would have prevented data collection in the first place. Data collected will be abused, and a cute little banner won't change this.
Yes because of the GDPR, there aren’t still two trillion dollar+ market cap ad Tech companies.
But at least we have cookie banners everywhere.
