    So you are fine with being tracked as long as they are transparent about it? In practice, you still have to accept cookies to browse the site, or you are kicked off entirely.

    Absolutely nothing changed regarding tracking.

    The spirit of the EU law was to allow users to decline cookies and still use the site. That outcome is meaningless to advertisers, who require tracking to function.

    The EU law did not protect users. It simply made the internet worse

      No, I’m saying for most of the time before that popup existed, the cookies were already there, you just didn’t know about them.
