The law was not created to piss off the minority of users that do not use cookies or use plugins or extension to protect themselves, the law is intended for all users to be informed and to allow them to protect themselves.

There are many people, like my father that don't even realize that his data was collected and sold behind his back, hopefully we get some fines soon so the websites implement the law right.

What I do if I really want to read a news article I will open it in a private window, accept that crap and close the window when done, but most of the time I will not read that website and go to ones that respect the users like Europen new websites.
