Take a pinch of manipulation, mix with endless pop-ups, bake until people are too exhausted to say “no”. That’s the tracking industry’s favourite recipe.

As Europe debates the future of online privacy, there is a chance to replace today’s endless cookie banner circus with something much simpler: letting people express their privacy preferences once, for example through their browser or device, and requiring websites to respect that choice.

How citizens may support the adoption of privacy signals by EU ?

It could be so simple.

Why would changing the law, make them more likely to comply...? Noncompliant nagware is the point.

Wish my country put this to a vote or just outright made it illegal. Based on the trackers I've seen on my works computers Amazon, Microsoft and Google trackers everywhere, tracker contracts are rife. Built into the system I think. I tried installing DDG but management blocked it almost immediately (got 2-3 days use) and other alternatives. I'm forced to use Chrome or Edge. Absolute trash.
