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.

They're the ones who made the law. Who else should have been in the meme?

The businesses who are actually doing this shit and not the people actually trying to solve issues in the world lmfao.

People complaining about the cookie law don't understand the issue.

The law doesn't state that websites have to show a cookie banner. It states that if a website wants to track you with cookies, they have to ask permission.

You can get websites (like lemmy and wikipedia) that don't ask for cookies, because none of them try to track you.

So if a websites demands cookies or they don't allow access, it is a clear sign that the website only cares about your visit if they can invade your privacy for profit.

Meaning it will just be a dumb clickbait website with no decent content anyway, that you should just skip.
