At least the regulation show us how shady internet is. That banner only shows up if the website is going to use cookies to use your data as a way to make profit. The fact that every website is doing that was eye opening for a lot of people.

Lol I'm a web developer who has put hundreds of those banners on clients' sites. Not as part of some nefarious data-selling scheme, but rather as a shallow tickbox exercise in order to comply with laws about technology they don't understand.

In this case, assuming ignorance over malice is the way to go.

In this case i assume you're an ingnorant developer who didn't thought of better options to comply with the law

In any case you are welcome to make incorrect assumptions, especially if my statement hurt your feelings.
