GDPR popups remind me of the spam popups of the 90s.

		No, maliciously compliant scumbag companies did that. You don’t need a cookie banner for functional cookies, and opt out should be a single button.

		GDPR requires websites to get user consent before doing sketchy shit. You don’t need a cookie popup if you’re not a scumbag.
