Europe's cookie law messed up the internet. Brussels wants to fix it (politico.eu)

Makes you wonder, what other things did the EU mess up, and which of those do they want to fix..

>privacy rules that force websites to run cookie banners.

This is such bullshit and common misconcepton.

Websites DO NOT have to run cookie banners!

If you only have necessary cookie for session and do not track users, you don't have to show cookie banner. Websites that want to invade privacy must run cookie banner to ask permission.

Ah yeah the banners are the problem, not the fact that almost every website out there wants to know every detail of my entire life...
