I find all the floating cookie-"agree to me" messages annoying.
What's good:
They mostly don't ever pop up if you use the tor browser and disable javascript.
I hope the #gdpr will kill such messages. I believe most of them are not#gdpr compliant anyway, because they usually lack a "no, thanks, I want to surf your site without you collecting any personal data about me" button.
And no one can tell me that it is impossible to display a web page without collecting personal data.
@Billie don’t mix upcoming e-privacy directive with #gdpr 😉
But you’re right, it’s not that difficult. But google analytics and such tools are omnipresent.
