What I don't understand is why a food blog run by someone in Kansas has cookie consent popups. You're not in Europe. Large multinational corporations I can understand. But it seems like most websites have these popups now even though most hosting and most content generation occurs somewhere other than the EU.


There's a huge industry around this bullshit that intentionally spreads FUD and misinformation to scare website operators into purchasing their "solution" even though they may not be affected in the first place.
