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.

    It's a "nice" way of saying, don't be Anommanous, get an account. Or go away. And if you get an account, possibly they'll still tell you to go away. And, they won't say it so "nicely" anymore. Don't forget, "winners never quit and quitters never win." Vince Lombardi (dead of ass cancer -- RIP!!).

    By the way, the incredible Killer Whales. I saw that story too. And, I didn't know you were doing the Sub. Trying to do a Sub, and failing badly. So I did a Trump Sub about that one. And there's a 25% chance of that one getting through.
