THAT IS A BIG FAT LIE! The EU did not force any such thing. The EU simply said that people’s data cannot be used without consent. This is the website asking for consent.

Website developers have a perfectly valid choice not to collect any data. They chose their profits above your privacy.

I have a website and I don’t have a popup asking for consent, because I don’t need to, because I don’t collect any data.
