Does anyone have any good resources for thoughtful designs for gathering cookie permissions? I’m fairly unhappy with the proliferation of cookie banners that primarily exist to comply with the letter of the law and not necessarily the spirit. I’d like to know how I can do better.
In uBlock Origin I've seen a few domains with the word `cookie` in them and after investigating them, they are serving Javascript that by virtue of being a third party, are scooping up personal data, not protecting it. Of course I blocked these in uBlock manually, but it breaks the site since the banner overlaps the content and I can't read my article, so I have to manually remove the offending HTML element using uBlock. Such a ridiculous farce.
