I do care about privacy - I don't use Analytics on my website, don't show any ads, don't send marketing emails and don't sell customer data to anyone. However, I will not comply with that bureaucratic law, because the EU will not be able to enforce it in my country and I have much more important things to do to stay competitive on the market (I have a lot of competitors).

"Oh no, the EU passed a law that is totally in line with my ethics! I'd better rebel against them."
Do you send user data anywhere in a way users may not expect? If not there's probably nothing to comply with. It's really the opposite of bureaucratic law — the entire thing is quite readable and reasonable.
Its going to become cookie law v2 with more annoying opt-ins
While I find your stance somewhat childish, I applaud you for "don't use Analytics on my website, don't show any ads, don't send marketing emails and don't sell customer data to anyone".

You're far ahead of the curve. May you profit from it somehow.

That's an important aspect. May I ask which country is that?

I'm curious about your product too if you are comfortable enought to disclose it :)
