AFAIK, there's no such thing as a cookie law, it's about PII consent.

I'm fine knowing in advance how scummy a website is even before I use it by their dark patterns on cookie warnings and thousands of "legitimate interest" partners.

Edit: People should stop whining about the cookie warnings and start being concerned that selling PII is such a common (and not even looked down upon) practice. It's disgusting.

Having annoying banners that cost a lot of money to make doesn't solve anything. If the EU would really care, they would outlaw these practices altogether.

It is also very ironic that you have to record the consents in your database by generating a unique id for the visitors.

Having technology illiterate people making laws about tech also doesn't help.

Brave did way more for my privacy than the EU ever could.

I'm looking forward to the EU banning these practices altogether. Until then I'm happy to stop using sites that sell my PII.

Good luck having Brave protect your PII.
