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.

The interface was horrible. It's like how email PGP encryption's / signing's CLi meant no one but programmers used it. We all know it could be done better. But because Thunderbird and Gmail never made a proper built-in solution, we all ended up having our mails read by three letter agencies and ad companies which happen to be Google's and Mozilla's revenue sources...
Point is, they deliberately delivered a shitty broken interface so people won't use the feature and then removed it altogether.
Then we'll have the browsers clear the cache from very small images and limit redirects to same signed domains and forbid fragment. This is all technically doable. you just need to avoid having an ad company code your browser into a telescreen.
compiling...
