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.

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

    @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.
