Not all art shows something beautiful - this really does feel like the internet of today without a lot of browser tweaking.

    I don’t like that the post insinuates that the EU created the cookie wall headache. It’s sites that decide they absolutely need to set unnecessary cookies for which they need consent. Iirc websites have to show a ‘Reject all’ button on equal footing with ‘Accept all’ nowadays.

    There are plugins like Consent-O-Matic that do the clicking for you. But the real solution would be that the EU mandates that if the browser sends a Do Not Track signal, websites should treat that as an implicit ‘Reject all’.

      Ah, that would require ethics on the website creator’s behalf - something not really accounted for in lawmaking.

      The law already indicated that “regect all” should be at least as easy as accepting all.

        If they can be obliged into respecting the cookie consent rules, they can be obliged to honor Do Not Track. It’s just a matter of turning it into law.

      You should disable do-not-track. Nobody follows it and it makes you more trackable nowadays, because it’s only a few % who enable it.
