    I hope, EU legislation will force websites to accept a global “Auto-decline”/“Minimum-possible” configurable in the web browser, in which case no banner can be shown. IMO, that’s how it should have always been.

    The banner is a stupid solution. Tracking and ad profiles should be completely banned instead.

      Yeah. The idea that tracking should require explicit consent sounds pretty good at first, but we now the result is that users are constantly nagged and harassed and annoyed until they finally “consent” - at which point everything becomes silky smooth.

      So yeah, I agree that this kind of thing should be simply banned, to remove any inconvenience or confusion from the whole thing.
