I have to admit this is a clever response but it's also an example of a meaningful regulation that corporations are trying to work around. They are annoying on purpose. The law doesn't say to make an annoying popup, only that you can't do user hostile things with cookies.
But surely everyone knows that companies will absolutely comply in the most minimal way possible to any regulation and will actively seek loopholes. Their incentive is profit, not egalitarian utopia. We may wish the universe were different, but it’s not. It’s like wishing the sun won’t expand and consume the planet some day out of respect for life.
