I'm very curious what leads you to believe that this law doesn't exist? And be so sure about it as to call out someone else for not knowing what they're talking about.

"Passed in the 2002 and amended in 2009, the ePrivacy Directive (EPD) has become known as the “cookie law” since its most notable effect was the proliferation of cookie consent pop-ups after it was passed."

I think point is that there is only a need for a cookie pop-ups if the site try to exploit their users.

It is not the cookie that requires pop-ups. It's despicable behavior that does.
