But they do, and it's terrible.

I feel for my European brothers and sisters these days. As an American, I hardly ever see these banners. Went to an EU country for work and... Holy cow. Y'all get these banners every site. How do you tolerate it?

Searching for "Allow All" becomes a reflex after a while. I don't know anybody rejecting anything anymore, it's even worse.

Honestly, I've never felt the urge to reject. I'm a guest in their data house, soaking their bandwidth for free. Track away.

This is weird. I'm neither in US or Europe but still see all those cookie banners everywhere on every site.

Thanks to GDPR, we have a much more private web. /s
