I mean, most companies still don’t abide by it tho. There’s lots of sites where you can accept all cookies or you have to jump through a few hoops to decline the non essential ones.
Am I supposed to trust the company to correctly define 'essential?' Seems easy to weasel around and makes me nervous.
It's almost certainly going to be litigated at some point, so a court is going to define "essential"... eventually.
Also a good point, I agree
I install the extension consent-o-matic and let it jump through the hoops for me.
I just open any site with one of those cookie-banners in a private window so that any cookie it creates will be deleted as soon as the window is closed.
