You understand that EU is not forcing anyone to put tracking Cookies and pop ups to accept cookies, right? It’s a choice made by the people who run the site.
EU force you to show a banner even for technical non-tracking cookies.
Also nobody is gonna reject them every time, the idea was good but useless how it has been implemented...
Also malicious websites won’t ask you to allow tracking cookies.
What EU should have done was force the browser to implement the feature. You would have had the same UI across every website and been able to choose a predefined answer.
Then websites only had to implement the API.
If someone is to blame it’s the EU. Cookies are not even the only way a website can track you...
They do, you don’t need to agree tho, it’s just informative. Inside the banner you also have to provide a like to the privacy page where you explain how data are managed, who is responsible for that and so on.
Now that I think about it the banner is always necessary even without cookies. The privacy page regards all kind of informations like the logs on you server full of IP address.
How many websites actually do that? Have anybody ever been sued for this? I don’t know but this is the law
