I’m pretty sure the form is there exactly because GDPR needs it to be.
Also I’m not villanising it, I’m villanising the corporations who only pretend to comply.
How does GDPR affect EU cookie law?
Recital 30 of the General Data Protection Regulation considers cookies as part of personal data. It requires websites and web publishers to obtain valid consent when collecting personal data from users. Therefore, the GDPR and Cookie Law work in tandem in the European Union
This particular instance of a cookie notice is really bad. The gdpr is there for a reason and a lot of websites can come up with better solutions to that cookie law.
I like the option of opting out, and way too many websites uses shenanigans to get you to accept implicitly or explicitly. And even when you don’t they hide “legitimate interest” checkmarks everywhere and you have to scroll a 100 miles to do them.
I still do.
But sites in which you can’t even scroll to see the “refuse” bit? Haiyaaaaaa
Personally I think the minimum cookies should be the default required by law and if people want to opt in too more, they can do so on a specific page of the website. Get rid of those stupid banners which I have to reject every single time.
Another site in which “accidentally” the GdpR cookie forms weirdly aren’t scrollable so you can’t reject them
It’s not GDPR but the cookie law. Stop villanizing the GDPR.

Yeah, my point exactly.
This one sucks.

I hate cookie banners, but I’m not villanizing the cookie law; I’m villanizing all the websites that try to spy on me
That’s fair! The cookie law requires that you can reject just as easy as accept, and mostly you just cannot.

They could just respect the DNT standard… yet they decided to ignore it
