A major political entity admitting mistake and correcting based on feedback. How refreshing.

If you’re a safari user (desktop and mobile): https://oblador.github.io/hush/
Consent-o-matic also works on iOS and safari
Thanks!
Thanks! It works on mobile (Nightly).
should work on Android regardless of the branch.
I trust they'll do a good job focusing on privacy rather than outright going back to "no banner, cookies for everyone!"
Install privacy badge, turn on "automatically send do not track" and those things all just melt away when you go to a new site as it processes almost all sites automatically.
The "do not track" is really just you asking them politely not to track you, they are not obligated to stop tracking...more often than not, it is completely ignored and they track you anyway.
...and the request itself can be used as a data point for tracking.
California's regulations have teeth but there are some exclusions and exemptions, I guess like most laws it'll only be followed if suing and getting damages is easy and results made public.
Is it possible to do this on mobile phone browsers?
Yup, that's where it's the most valuable to not have to drag fingers around and whatnot, easier if you needed to deal with popup on PC with mouse and keyboard and whatnot.
There are no cookie banners, at least not nessesary ones. There is just a consent requirement for processing personal data.
Um, what? Almost every consent banner I've seen has specifically asked about cookies, and usually nothing else.
This is a misconception many sites fall into. They really do not have to ask for just cookies, it's like there were asking to use CSS or JavaScript :).
I like my websites RAW, they're not going to spy on me with those cascading styles and I do not want anything to interpret HTML for me, I will interpret it according to myself and not according to how some corporation wants. Wake up sheeple! /s
Can't wait until 28 when people realize how nice cell phones used to be.
