Cookie regulation is great. If you block the cookie message elements, the websites have to default to necessary cookies only.

Before the regulation, sites would do whatever they wanted if your browser settings weren't set up perfectly.

Or you could have turned off cookies entirely or per site in your browser since 1996, and not depend on the goodwill and compliance of an advertising company. But as has been demonstrated there are a bazillion ways to track you even with cookies blocked that you have no control over nor are covered by this spam pop up inducing bit of transnational bureaucracy.
