Considering cookie consent buttons will be gone in two weeks, I don't think that's gonna be of much value.

EDIT: Please research the GDPR and new ePrivacy regulation before you vote.

I won't vote either way, but I will say that regardless of what GDPR may mean, "you need a cookie warning" will be accepted web dev mantra for years, and the things they build in that time will be around longer still.

The "you need a cookie warning" is yhe reason why the GDPR is actually so strict, though.

The goal was to let users opt out of tracking in the hope that the industry would self-regulate.

Now that it hasn't, GDPR is coming down hard.

Web devs really manage to fuck everything up.

You mentioning "log in" in this context makes it pretty clear you're also fairly ignorant about the specific topic. Log ins, shopping baskets, ... do not require a cookie notice.

Not only is what you're saying irrelevant to my point, you're wrong. "Log ins, shopping baskets" do require a notice if they are persistent, which almost all of them are. Looks like you're the ignorant one here.

I bet you they'll still be around in a decade :)

They may be, but they'll be useless then. They're not considered consent anymore under the new regulations.

Being useless is just one more reason to adblock them.
