Heh, we had this problem with a work product a month ago. it’s the suppress cookie popups feature.
Legislation in some areas requires people to opt in to cookies, but add blockers block the banner pop, so from a legal compliance standard they’re not in compliance even though it’s something the users are doing.

Is that actually true or is that just their legal team playing it overly safe? Because if it is true that’s incredibly stupid.

The California stuff still has yet to play out in courts but the European law covering it was actually pretty significant. And it was enough of a pain in the ass that they recently said they’re going to repeal it.

It sounds like legal teams playing it safe. Who would go to court over such a thing?
