EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.

I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.

Makes sense, I don't use any of them, at all. I'm pretty sure there's a place where you can report such webpages for doing that though, though I don't know where at the moment.

Edit: possibly this one

Netzpolitik.de checked Germany's top 100 sites. Not many offer a single click rejection of cookies. Many of them only offer a paid 'pure abo' to disable tracking.

Yea, we have the same issue in Austria but technically that's illegal behaviour and you should be able to report it somewhere!

Don't know if it's me or what, but I clicked on the first link and when it opened in my mobile browser, everything started shaking vertically like the page was suffering an earthquake. I'll definitely have to look into that because I've never seen it happen before on any website like it.
