Pretty unrelated but this site (npr.org) has a weird way for visitors to opt out of cookies. Basically they send you to a page telling you to install cookie blocking tools :/ This is really not in line with EU legislation.

but is it illegal... this law is stupid anyways. I like privacy, but this law isn't helping at all.

Well it's better than the last one.

Before this, there had to be a notification of cookies. This didn't work.

Now at least, websites must provide a way to turn cookies off, and any other advertising tracking. Unfortunately they're still allowed to make it quite complicated but it's a step in the right direction.
