⚠️ Cookie popups

Contrary to popular belief there is no law that says websites need to have cookie popups. There are laws that say companies need informed consent to manage personal data. It's perfectly possible to build websites that don't collect personal data by default.

Popups are how the market "solved" this. But most of those popups are themselves illegal(!)

Take a moment to appreciate the lack of a cookie popup on your Mastodon website.
