EU politicians could have shown a little restraint and made only that recommendation: to use incognito windows and close them regularly. But they probably don’t even know what incognito windows are. (Or what cookies are. Or how tracking works, which doesn’t require cookies.)

@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

Browsers and plugins exist that remove cookie notices before they’re displayed.

If you’re worried about cookies, use only incognito windows and close them regularly.

Either way, improved tech renders these laws useless, as is so often the case. twitter.com/alecstapp/stat…

There seems to be a group of ‘hardcore’ game devs who say you must build your own game engine to truly be a game dev.
