Well best would be websites not using cookies so there is no need for a notice.

Yes but what's the next best?

  • Don't bother with cookies at all unless they serve the interests of the user. And in that rare case, only do a cookie banner if required by law, and here's how to do it: just pretend it's "fine print." Make it functionally invisible, but good enough to get away with it. Nobody will complain about your cookie banner not being annoying enough.

    • The EU cookie directive, at least, does _not_ require notification if the cookies are functionally necessary.
