Why the fuck did this go away? I remember when browsers used to ask if you wanted cookies while they were parsing the headers.

>>107267258
Companies should double and triple-up on the cookie popups with links to the EU regulations and make clicking on anything open up an email to whomever that eu chick is.

>The Do Not Track header was originally proposed in 2009[3] and was adopted by most major browsers within a few years. However, the header failed to find widespread respect among publishers,[4] due to the lack of legislation requiring companies to support the DNT header and confusion about the header's meaning.[5] The DNT header was abandoned by standards bodies such as the W3C.[4] As of 2025, some browsers had removed the header, including Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.[6]

Political boomers are just now realizing that the web browsers are terrible all-in-one technology that leak enormous amounts of data about the client device and the user to literary who-s.

this is the speed of the EU? they ruin the internet with this shit like ten years ago, now they are beginning to suggest a solution which was already implemented before their original shitfest?
browsers can already block 3rd party cookies
if they have any interest in public freedom then what the eu should be doing is legislating that websites must work despite having 3rd party cookies blocked because lets face it, about 0% of websites use their own domain for tracking cookies.
>>107267442
do not track header as far as im concerned should not be re-implemented, fingerprinting should simply be made illegal and web standards should move towards removing unnecessary shit like user agents which nobody really needs. there should just be like a single viewport resolution which the browser scales, there should be no reason for javascript to know things like that.
do not track should not be necessary.
but eu of course is useless, which is why we eneded up with cookie opt out menus with hundreds of 'legitimate interest' sliders all enabled. and how many sites were taken to task by the eu courts? contacted? punished? its all a big joke really.

>>107267544

Just make it literally illegal for any company to know anything about any person.

>>107267544
>they ruin the internet with this shit like ten years ago, now they are beginning to suggest a solution which was already implemented before their original shitfest?
It wasn't EU that ruined internet though, it's just companies being spiteful and doing their cookie banners in the worst way possible. EU is not responsible for bad implementations

Why does every website needs to know which exact graphics card model you own, which exact fonts you have installed or how many audio devices you have plugged in?

>>107267614
Or even what operating system you use?

>>107267566
Totally valid if sophon possibility is disproven.

>>107267604
yeah kind of, but,
if i go to a site and they track me with cookies, i don't like that. it sucks.
but then the eu made it so that i go to a site with a bad implemented (they do it on purpose) cookie selector and either spend 20 minutes turning them off individually or just click accept.
if i click accept then we went from being tracked against my will to being coerced into consenting to being tracked.
now, badly implemented? sure. iirc the rule was one click should be able to reject all. but the rule was never enforced. so thats a strike against eu because especially now people won't give a fuck. clearly they are jumping to browsers because then they only have to take 3 or 4 to court to prove a point, not countless sites that flout the law.
and what the fuck is legitimate interest. why the fuck was that in there at all? either its a fucking tracking cookie or it isn't.
and finally if you want my opinion i think that every single site abused the necessary function aspect. i would accept cookies are 'necessary' (they aren't) for session id. THATS IT. 4chan uses cookies for (you)'s. that is very useful and cool and one way of using js which i actually like, i think its clever. but it is not 'necessary'.

I just imagine politicians are the WORST as having sex. Like disgusting breath, no ability to hump, awkward touching, and over compensating in so many ways for their lack of personal depth

>>107267258
just fucking give me an option in browser to set option: yes I want to DENY ALWAYS all mother fucking cookies besides the required ones needed for site to function.

it's that simple

and order page owners to mark the correct option in the form,

or just skip all this when ever your browsers sends X-deny-nonessential-cookies in http headers.

>>107267785
i'm pretty sure that's what the eu now wants. why they didn't think of this the first time around only demonstrates how continually out of touch they are with reality and computing.

>>107267258
Wow, took long enough to clean up their shit, but better late than never.

>>107267288
Just use a browser with an auto-reject setting. Even if the big boys puss out for some reason, all it takes is one disgruntled nerd with a fork.

To hustle you. Watch the Louis Rossman video about the Netflix client.
If you watch your paid subscription Netflix via browser on Linux, they reduce the bitrate and resolution to make you switch to the Netflix App on your smart TV.
Companies punish you for not using their privacy nightmare apps and they need to know what system you have to achieve that.

>>107267667
>badly implemented?
The funny thing is, broadly speaking only US websites offered a proper "One click reject all" button, while literally all EU state websites offered to turn off 120 "legitimate interest" options after clicking through 100 sub-menus.
Your laws are fucked if someone, not even subject to the laws, implements them better than the ones being subject to the laws.

Because they can and because the political structure allows them to be dictators.
Always remember, there is no legitimate process in electing EU commission officials in a democratic way. All the citizens can do is vote for EU parliament which only has veto rights against the EU commission. And as Jean-Claude Juncker once said:
>There is no such thing in the EU commission as "veto". If we're being vetoed by the EU parliament, it just means the laws and regulations won't pass right now. But we'll enter them again and again and again until they're passed.

No?

>>107267258
Cookie law is why people stopped going on normal websites.

>>107267258
Seems like a good fix. About as good as you can get. Cookies are a problem that need solving, and it is a good privacy thing to inform the users of them and have the user decide whether to accept them or not. But it's better solved in a more user friendly way by simply checking a browser box where you use the same answer on each website by default and can manually change it yourself if you want for specific sites.

>>107267258

Cookies that survive a browser restart, all third party cookies and all forms of browser fingerprinting should be banned outright.

It's because the law was lobbied by the founders of one of those privacy companies that then sold cookie banners.
Cookie law was made lobbyists

Didn't these fuckers implement GDPR regulations that forced sites to show cookie warnings all the time anyway?
They are just undoing their own fucking miserable effort.

>>107273112
no, no one forced anyone to display cookie warnings
they could just stop putting a million tracking cookies on your pc, then you don't have to display any cookie warnings
that's why 4chan doesn't display 4chan cookies, they only store theme setting, and an anonymized CloudFlare thing

if you see a cookie warning, it means the website is trying to fuck you
and the EU requires consent before you get fucked

>>107273135
the first idea was to ban them, but they changed that for "informed consent"

>>107273135
important to add to this that's basically all that happens. they require you be informed of the fucking but you can't opt out of it see (((legitimate interests))).
