The worst is that it punishes the most privacy conscious of us, who clear cookies on every session, and are forced to click and reclick again on the same popups. I think the law should have been enforced at the browser level, mandate browser makers to prompt for authorization and once it has been refused, to never ask again.

In other words you want to delete a cookie and still have a cookie.

This what happens when people who don't know how to use the internet make laws for those who do.

I'm implying every politician involved in the decision, or at least the majority, uses a couple or sites and had to approve cookies and data handling only on a handful of sites, once in their life. I shouldn't generalize but, even as an able bodied internet user, I find it extremely cumbersome to surf.

They should have mandated treating the Do Not Track header as opting out of all tracking.

I wonder whom is to be blamed, maybe If politicians asked technicians and accessibility experts before taking decisions we'd have a better world.
