Thank you for not using the cookie notice! This is clearly a better way of following this law, and probably what the EU intended when they created it.

Cookie notices have become a massive pain on the Internet. What really annoys me is that these notices are on websites that don't even serve the EU. The other day I was browsing the website for a local (non-EU) cellphone company, on a local TLD, from an IP address registered to a local ISP, and I still had to accept this meaningless popup.

Well the law applies to all EU citizens, at home or abroad, in one of the weirdest jurisdiction overreaches I’ve ever seen.

So the company could have one or more EU citizen customers who even live in the US.

But I clearly like the one cookie for sessions approach better, and most of these alerts don’t actually fulfill the requirements anyway.
