Cookie walls that demand a website visitor agrees to their Internet browsing being tracked for ad-targeting as the ‘price’ of entry to the site are not compliant with European data protection law, the Dutch data protection agency clarified yesterday.

The DPA said it has received dozens of complaints from Internet users who had had their access to websites blocked after refusing to accept tracking cookies — so it has taken the step of publishing clear guidance on the issue.

    Thank you, Anomalous. I came here to say that. We can put a big beautiful wall around our American Internet. And we can do it with American cyber. Like we did for China. They call it National Public Security Work Informational. And it's been keeping the China Internet safe for over 20 years. Keeping out the Hacking. Keeping out the Terrorism. And keeping out the Drugs. So the China Economy can grow. I'll tell you, it's been growing tremendously. Because they keep out the bad digital. And so much of that is coming from our foe, the European Union. We're looking into closing off certain parts of our Internet. So we won't loose so many people. And by the way, U.K. can be part of our Internet. If they want to. Brexit is happening, very soon. And U.K. won't be E.U. anymore. They can be U.S.A., a colony of the U.S.A. Like Puerto Rico. Or they can just be their own thing. And do their own thing. Time to decide!!
