This EU hate on account of the banners is misguided: We should be upset at the companies engaging in unfettered data collection and tracking, not the body that made it mandatory for them to reveal their practices. It’s as if your government enacted a law saying restaurants had to inform you whenever they piss in your food, you begin to see warnings everywhere, and then complain about the law instead of the rampant pissing.
