I nearly stopped reading after the second sentence, and I definitely stopped after your first "argument".

I don't want to be stalked, period. Not turning cookies off should not mean I immediately relinquish my rights, just like I don't relinquish my right to privacy by stepping into the street.

Yes, cookies server a very valuable purpose in website development, and guest what: for those purposes the so-called cookie law (which btw covers all forms of tracking, calling it the "cookie law" is sheer propaganda in itself) doesn't affect any website in any fucking way.

This underhanded tactic of spreading deliberate misinformation in order to justify the massive violation of privacy caused by commercialized stalking disgusts me.

It's like the mafia bitching about how it's so unfair and stupid that politicians have made racketeering illegal.
