While the GDPR was le grand coup, it’s sad they can’t revert mistakes. Which begs the question: Why doesn’t every site put the EU flag as a background of the cookie banner, until the EU reckons?
No one forced site owners to suck out personal information from customers to sell them to the highest bidder. A normal, human respecting website doesn't even need a consent banner.
People are normalizing egregious behavior.
When will the industry reckon?
