in Germany there's a (somewhat) new law that makes it mandatory for all websites to ask you if it can store cookies on your harddrive. since then every time you visit a new page or on a new installation you have to click through three pop-ups, it's sooooo annoying to navigate the internet since then. so yeah this feature is more then welcome here ^^
I think it's the same for whole EU. I'm forced to click even though I'm not from Germany.
I'm not in the EU and those banners are still everywhere.
And the thing is afaik in the EU websites cant save anything nonessential unless you actively opt-in. In other countries its opt-out. So blocking cookie banners while not strictly cleaning or blocking may be harmful for privacy
okay. my bad it's apparently EU wide. so then it doesn't make sense for Firefox to only do that in Germany.
Gdpr thing
Nope it’s the e privacy directive, a common mistake is to blame the GDPR for that though.
