The mere existence of regulation is part of the problem. Without precise understanding of the law, you don't know if your use cases are fine/excempted. The safe default assumption is that your site is not compliant with regulations until you can prove otherwise, involving a lawyer.


That regulation would not have come into existence if there were no privacy problems caused by the ones that have to comply to the regulations


Right, and that regulation has a cost. I hope it's worth it.


There were certainly problems.

Now they track us AND present an irritating warning that users have learnt to mindlessly "accept"


This is simply not true.
