Cookie banners wouldn't be needed if websites used them only where strictly necessary.

It is always the opposite of what I consider it to be the best solution.

What they wanted was to get rid of the banners by no longer requiring consent at all.

> Even though this understandable frustration is mostly caused by misleading dark patterns used by the industry, these banners have become the symbol of what is perceived as excessive EU regulation.

It is an excess of EU regulation, come on. Google is obviously being shitty, but it's silly to blame everything about that failed regulation/rule onto the companies

The links at the bottom are for directly sharing articles to platforms, messengers or via email. Here, we had problems implemeting Mastodon because it's decentralised. But our devs are already working on it.

How long ago did Mozilla say the will stop sending the DNT Signal? Is this connected to this discussion?

Now that is what I call funny.

What on earth is Noyb thinking about when having those buttons on the bottom of their homepage.

All the big bad guys are listed (X, Meta *2, LinkedIn), but free alternatives like Mastodon missing.

Come on, this is ridiculous.

Even the EU has a Mastodon link nowadays (and no X anymore).

Tracking industry *chose* to ignore it. This was before Cookie Banners were invented. Also Cookie banners would not need to be displayed if DNT is present. Why is that not simply being mandatory?
