EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.

I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.

The fun part is that websites that do this are illegal in the EU

They need to start flexing that 4% revenue / year fines

    But we can't always get what we want.
