    The pointless notice about cookies has become a sort of national branding for UK sites. And not in a good way.

        @paulg it is for all EU sites and it has something to do with EU regulations. This happens when politicians try to regulate the web

        @paulg And for non-english websites within the EU as well. In an even worse way, I'd argue. And nobody gets anything good out of it.
