It seems like the classic reaction to the GDPR - add a stupid cookie banner and it'll be fine. Truth is, it's not compliant.

If you want to be compliant you need to ask for consent before loading any of the creepy/stalky shit like Google Analytics and Facebook Like buttons.

Unless you're gonna do it properly you might as well not bother at all as you're still in breach of the regulations no matter what.

So how do we go about hammering sites for their poor compliance? We can sit here and shake our heads, but unless there is a lever to make them behave this poor behavior will continue.
