EU has a history of moralistic bullshit proposals like that stupid cookie law. Which looked good in the eye of the law-makers (career politicians I should call them) but doesn't really work in the real world.

People get used to accepting the stupid cookie law and it becomes a habit, and in a couple of years the law lost it's meaning (people blindly accept cookie law) and no-one cares about "the great privacy laws of the EU".

This is probably how GDPR will end up, no sane person would have the time to read all the privacy notices and the crappy opt-ins to just order food as fast as possible.

Hey I'm starving I need that food ordered now, here's my location so you can deliver food here, I don't give a rat's ass about your privacy statement and clickady clack are there any more opt-ins to check before I can finally order my food?
