EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.

I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.

Makes sense, I don't use any of them, at all. I'm pretty sure there's a place where you can report such webpages for doing that though, though I don't know where at the moment.

Edit: possibly this one

Netzpolitik.de checked Germany's top 100 sites. Not many offer a single click rejection of cookies. Many of them only offer a paid 'pure abo' to disable tracking.

Yea, we have the same issue in Austria but technically that's illegal behaviour and you should be able to report it somewhere!
