On: Stop whining about “The EU Cookie Policy” and improve your ways

> has one of these annoying pop-ups

You mean a footer. With a 'Only essential cookies' option.

A bit annoying, yes, and other commenters have mentioned the reason for it.

So nothing in your face like "We care about (selling) your privacy"

[signatoremo → raverbashing]

It is still in your face. It takes a large part of a mobile screen.

If they care enough about privacy they would only use “essential cookies” and get rid of the others.

[revelio → signatoremo]

Yes that's the joke. The law was meant to discourage the use of "non essential" cookies on the assumption that people would rather stop using them than put up annoying banners, but even the EU org itself thinks that YouTube embeds are essential.
