Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from “social” media?

Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay… :)

    It’s too bad the websites that do this don’t have to put a label on it in the U.S. Something like “Not for consumption in the E.U.” to make people wonder what’s going on.

      I’m struggling with this as a website operator. I don’t have any third-party tracking, no external assets, nothing and I’m dying to put up a cookie banner stating as such even though it’s totally unnecessary and annoying.

        You do not have to put up a cookie banner when you are only using technically required ones ornnone at all. Make a dedicated cookies page in your footer and have a table with every cookie, their name, their description and use as well as how long they last.

        If you have none, put that info on that page. All you need to do.

          That’s what I was saying: that it isn’t required but it would be nice to advertise I’m not doing anything shady.

          Great advice on the cookie listing page though. I haven’t considered that.
