I really dislike Europeans and their hate for cookies--they're like the people who campaigned to remove BPA from packaging. What happened with the BPA? They tweaked the chemistry to something "not-BPA". Is it safer? Some say its worse.
Meanwhile, thanks to Europeans, millions of websites have to notify you they use cookies. I don't care--I've got tools to compost them at will and sites can use things that aren't cookies to track you anyway. https://octodon.social/media/3bnj5dsNeoGVjFbIv3U
