The more I visit a wide range of sites, the more I hate obnoxious cookie policy pop ups. The ones that take 2/3 are UN-FUCKING-NECESSARY.

Web devs that make them like this can you please tell me why?

Because copy/ paste the same thing with slightly different colours for the over sensitive EU visitors.

I luckily have never had to include those.

Because fuck the EU, that's why.

@Torbuntu Couldn't you try and persuade them to not go the obnoxious route?

@jhh2450 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/... - "Remove annoying cookie warnings from almost all 'infected' websites! The EU regulations require that any website using cookies…" 😉

@JoshBent You sir....not all heroes wear capes.

@jhh2450 You're welcome! 😊

@JoshBent Pity it's not open source.

@Ashkin I got you too https://i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/...

@JoshBent !!! &heart;

@Ashkin youre welcome too 😊

@Ashkin I tried to convince the author to open-source it, but he didn't see the benefit. Maybe if someone else were to suggets it too...

@DLMousey As with most regulations, the intention was good, the execution awful and completely missing the point.

If the law had stated "browsers must implement a feature where non technical users can easily choose to blacklist or whitelist tracking cookies per domain" — we would've ended up with a privacy badger like extension built into every browser. Which wouldn't be too bad.
