Always surprising to me to find people in the HN comments who don't use adblockers in $CURRENTYEAR

GDPR popups remind me of the spam popups of the 90s.

GDPR requires websites to get user consent before doing sketchy shit. You don’t need a cookie popup if you’re not a scumbag.

No, maliciously compliant scumbag companies did that.

You don’t need a cookie banner for functional cookies, and opt out should be a single button.

Agreed. It's horrible and stupid. I actually run a service in the EU and I don't present that nonsense even with the risk of being sued.

What is your service and what data are you collecting?
