turdas comments on Guardian not Respecting GDPR?

The cookie legislation under GDPR is probably the most poorly thought out thing the EU has ever enacted, I hate cookies, but cookie pop ups have made everyone miserable.

I’m not spreading misinformation because it’s been challenged and every news site does the same thing, many do far worse.

It’s not illegal. What should be illegal is reading cookies for anything other than your own site.

I spent 20 years making compliance systems for OFCOM and later GDPR for the major UK banks. I promise I know more than 99.99% of the population on this subject.

The guidance on consent-or-pay is here and the link to report the Guardian when you find the specific infringement is here

Let us all know what you find.

Perhaps you should have led with that… as a UK based newspaper they probably only answer to the ICO. If you want to use a service in the UK you probably have to play by UK rules… pushing the issue may only result in the Guardian geoblocking the EU.
