Awhile back the European Union created the GDPR with the hopes that websites would stop tracking users' personal information, or give users more control of what information is tracked.
But instead of internet tracking being reduced, the major product of this law is that every website in the entire fucking world has put annoying popups telling us that they use cookies.
I am getting tired of clicking to dismiss annoying popups on literally every website in the world just because some stupid regulators in Europe couldn't design a better law.
Nobody has stopped tracking you. They just spam you with popups telling you about it now. This is not an improvement, it is an inconvenience - caused by government.
