EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.
I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.
It's rare to see (probably since someone pointed out it doesn't conform to GDPR standards), but I ran into a batch of them in short order recently, so it's been on my mind.
