Stop the tracking circus. Kill the cookie banner!

Tired of misleading cookie banners? The EU Commission has finally proposed a solution: set your privacy preferences in the browser once, and never see another banner. Unfortunately, the tracking industry is pushing back – and so far, they’ve been successful. We need YOUR help to #KillTheCookieBanner!

I'm all for this, don't get me wrong; but please educate yourself: you can be tracked without cookies: https://belibre.be/cookies/ (a fork that translated https://kuber.studio/cookie/).

If tracking is made illegal, only criminals will track you.

And it will rid us of those annoying cookie banners. I block cookies in the browser, so I see the same banners again and again.
