living in the UK I see the same as-useless-as pop-ups.  I guess you'll need to
re-phrase "you Europeans" as "you Europeans who are part of the European Union".
 (though pithier wording comes to mind :-))

disagree, frankly.  no one is "forced".  personally, I tend to visit a new URL
in an "incognito" window, and if the first thing I see is a pop-up, I close the
window, done.  fwiw I do think that companies need to up their "ethical game".
ie there is no need for any company to dump _their_ shit in (my) "local
storage", be it cookies or db, unless and until I do something on their site
necessitating that store, perhaps put "an item" into the "shopping cart".  "cuts
both ways".
