Cookies click driving me crazy
MilesAhead:
Every web page I go to now, they want me to click a button after they tell me their site uses cookies!! I have one question. Can they not set a cookie to remember that I clicked the button last time? After all, I told them it was OK to put a cookie on my system. So why don't they instead of being annoying?
Edvard:
Apparently, it's to satisfy the EU "Cookie Law" that went into effect around 2004 or so, with the hard deadline being September 15, 2015.

What weirds me out is how the most popular Javascript cookie consent plugins on GitHub all use the phrase "Got It!" instead of "OK!" :huh:

Yeah. It makes me feel like I am in 2nd grade and the teacher explains what a file is, and what a cookie is(no not the ones mom gives you to eat at recess.) Then the teacher says "Got it?" Well, no. I don't get it. There should be a "Yes, No, Cancel" on that dialog.
What a world! They make the law after Netscape and descendants have been in use for over two decades. But the armored truck has an "equipment malfunction," the doors swing open and dump bags of money right in front of Whitey Bulger! As if he needed more cash! Like they sang on Sesame Street.. "One of these things is not like the others." Hmmmm. :)

I agree. I think they should standardize on using m'kay? instead.
