The real MVPs are websites not needing a cookie banner because they only use required cookies for which you dont need a banner.
They still have to inform you, right? Like with some banner at the edge of the page telling that they use cookies, just no need for a popup asking you to accept or decline.
No it’s only for tracking cookies. If you just have cookies for login, for example, then there’s no need to ask permission
And what tells you is how fucked the internet is since almost every single webpage asks to use tracking cookies.
Just FYI - it’s mandatory to have a button like that next to the ‘Accept all’.
Every site that doesn’t do it should be reported.
The serious answer is to whatever your country’s internet regulation agency is (assuming your in the EU, else you’re out of luck). So for example, in France that would be the CNIL, in Germany it’s the BfDI, etc.
Just FYI Germany likes to make things more difficult, so with federation every sub-area is separated in many aspects and has own agencies for different things…
BfDI is only responsible for health and internet-provider institutions (and a few more).
Otherwise you can send it to the one where the company is located at, or always where you are located at. (they will forward it, but that can take a few months, so better to submit where it has to go).
If that’s so it’s incredibly poorly enforced to the point where complaining is unlikely to have any effect at all. Most Sites have a button that leads To a secondary menu where cookie preferences can be set. Perhaps this meets the mandate you speak of? It’s a much more common setup.
Or just sites that don’t need a consent popup because they don’t sell your shit.
The real MVPs are website not having cookies altogether
I highly recommend the Firefox extension “I still don’t care about cookies” as a great successor to the original
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcareaboutcookies/
by the way, I’ve always been subconsciously curious but never asked anybody, what happens when we click “ok yes I accept cookies?” And What happens if we click " not ok, I don’t accept cookies?"
