> And is anyone else annoyed that since GDPR started, every single website that even so much as stores your username now has a "this website uses cookies" thing you have to click on to get rid of it? And if you turn off cookies, you see this damn intrusive thing every single time.

I am indeed very annoyed that so many companies are throwing an online tantrum over the very reasonable requirements of GDPR. Most of those cookie banners aren't even GDPR-compliant because they don't let you opt-out of tracking and don't actually tell you what data they are tracking or who they are giving it to.

Just tell people what you are actually fucking doing with their data and let them opt-out of having their data collected. It's not that fucking hard.
