It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:
The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.
You can just not accept cookies.
Yeah… After the GDPR became a thing
? You know Firefox can just deny them
Yes, but it’s all or nothing with that, what the GDPR forced websites to do is ask what the cookies are being used for and allow users to more granularly choose which ones they’re ok with keeping, for example by disabling cookies altogether you wouldn’t be able to keep your sessions after you log in, you close the tab and you have to log in again every single time
Sounds like a bad browser. Lynx lets you accept/reject each cookie individually.
That’s actually neat, but pointing to that as a solution would be scummy on the companies’ side, forcing you to figure out the purpose of each cookie is very anti-consumer
Any site offering more than 3 cookies (upon login/action, 0 otherwise) immediately loses the privilege.
Uh huh. Considering you don’t live in an EU country, and by your statements I highly doubt you’ve ever interacted with GDPR in any way especially on the business side… It’s safe to disregard your fortune cookies.
