We NEED to remove Cookie Banners 🤦‍♂️

Key Takeaways

How have we not found a solution to cookie banners? An HTTP cookie has been around for like 30 years and simply put, [music] when you visit a website, it stores your cookie in your browser. So that the next time you visit, it sends stored information from that website back to the server. So like, items in your checkout for example. But around 20 years later, the GDPR in Europe was introduced forcing websites to explicitly allow users to consent to data collection. And this is when the cookie banner on websites started to show up. And personally, I'm on the fence of this issue. Because A, explicit privacy laws are great. No one wants to be tracked without knowing. But B, the web is so annoying to use. Like, [music] come on, really? And now that every single site that you go on has this cookie banner, [music] usually with long text and annoying terms, it's become the new terms and condition where we just agree to them without reading. Also, because it's on the responsibility of the website owner, does hitting reject like even reject? Is anyone checking that? What are your thoughts?
