This sounds interesting and all but I'd like a more technically informed source than The Verge to judge whether the headline is accurate:
> One change that’s likely to please almost everyone is a reduction in Europe’s ubiquitous cookie banners and pop-ups. Under the new proposal, some “non-risk” cookies won’t trigger pop-ups at all, and users would be able to control others from central browser controls that apply to websites broadly.
That's nonsensical. The GDPR doesn't require "cookie banners and pop-ups". Obtaining consent for things you can't do without consent does - if you insist on handling it that way. And "'non-risk' cookies", i.e. technical cookies required to fulfil the functionality requested by the user (e.g. maintain a login session) definitionally don't require consent and thus no "pop-up" or "banner". So what is the actual change here?
