The dumb bit of the law is the fact that websites are allowed to put up an annoying banner that says either accept cookies or individually deselect 240 checkboxes.

[–] Crotaro@beehaw.org 5 points 1 day ago

As @apotheotic@beehaw.org mentioned, that is actually not allowed and against the spirit of the "cookie banner law". But since hundreds, if not thousands of sites break this law, it takes quite the time for government workers to sift through all of that (provided they even get around to it).

They're not actually allowed to do that, by my understanding. It must be equally simple to accept all cookies as it is to deny cookies.
