You know those "cookie banners" are illegal under GDPR too, and done specifically to annoy people into agreeing?

This is so funny. Under GDPR everything is illegal, the only legal website is no website.

Good for Europe, they are just going to law themselves out of the internet. Up to the point were your ISP doing hops to send your TCP packet will be illegal unless you approve them sharing that info with all the shops.

What about clicking or typing in a site? Is your webserver processing those? That means you’re gratuitously using user data to run your for-profit business! That should be illegal!
