I just put an ip-address to country list in my middleware and block all the GDPR countries. Now I have no issue with popups or cookies.

Honestly, I'd like to see more people follow that. I got the idea from others and it seems like a perfect solution.

People who can't/don't want cookies cannot really use any site I've ever worked on. It makes no sense building things for people who won't ever be customers.

It must be really odious for you to respect the people that use your website. Thank you for removing yourself.

Here's the thing. The GDPR isn't really that great a set of rules. It's too vague, and really hard to manage.

I do however treasure privacy rights. That's why I don't use cloud flare. It blocks TOR, and many VPN's.

I've almost built my site to favour those methods of privacy, and I highly recommend them to people

I have paid the price of being on TOR often enough. Heaps of sights are beyond my reach.

People have the right to avoid cookies, but those rights come at a cost.

Oddly most of my users are from the EU, they just use VPN's

It's really not. Don't collect or process personally identifying information, and you're in immediate compliance.

You do understand that the requirement isn't "site needs to work without any cookies"?

[moribunda]

You can use cookies with GDPR. Are you aware of split into 4 cookie categories? Is it surprising that people want some privacy and you can actually disagree to tracking?

Of course, people should be able to disable tracking more like: i don't want to be tracked by alphabet and Facebook, rather than turning it off for every website separately.
