Internet's Biggest Annoyance: Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites

> illegal to make the user experience worse

> not illegal to annoy the user on every page load

This looks like a contradiction to me.

Wait you're saying that the websites in question ask for your consent on every page load even if you give it to them? I was under the impression that they typically pester you for consent until you give it to them, then remember your choice once you "consent"

This is true by default, even before you decline the tracking. The two choices, consent and no consent, must be equally possible.

OP loves to claim how almost everything is illegal and then not give any useful sources when asked.
