If an American company with an American server doesn\'t obey EU cookie/GDPR/privacy laws, what\'s the EU gonna do? They can\'t get someone into trouble for breaking a law which only exists in another country surely? All they could do is block the website in the EU. If all companies refused to obey the legislation, the EU would have to block thousands of sites, then their population would see sense and get the law overturned. Or.... all sites outside the EU could simply check the IP address, and if the user is in the EU, display an alternate page complaining about the stupid law and saying we refuse to deal with Europeans. For goodness sake, fight back against stupidity!
I was working with a group in Oxford and I asked them if our
tomographic atom probe machine would have to be tested for CE
compliance. They all laughed out loud.
\"You don\'t understand. CE means Can\'t Enforce.\"
They buy CE stickers in bulk.

Oxford is a wonderful, magical place.

And rejecting cookies (using the website\'s rejection method, not your

rest. That is the bit I hate, as rejection often means un-clicking
dozens of items in a list.

All (well, as far as I know, all) shopping sites use cookies to store
