    Same with how they put annoying privacy pop-ups on the website in European locations which re-appear every time you login or visit the site.

    I mean, those are mandated, even if they’re implemented deliberately poorly.

      I know they require them, it’s is the way that they’re implemented that I’m referring to. Like they made it deliberately frustrating. Some of them one a few websites even pop up twice or even three times and you have to click them multiple times to get them to go down.

      The best site to read about what is actually mandated and to see how they implement it is https://gdpr.eu … which has a privacy pop up on it that shows up each time.

      I’m not sure how deliberate it is.

        If you read it a bit, it pretty much lays out what you see everywhere. They can only make you use strictly necessary cookies, and everything else has to be easily opted into or out of. I’m not sure why their own website is different, maybe it has no trackers in the first place.

        Now, that doesn’t mean it has to be presented in a series of popups.
