Stop the tracking circus. Kill the cookie banner! (killthecookiebanner.eu)

Tired of misleading cookie banners? The EU Commission has finally proposed a solution: set your privacy preferences in the browser once, and never see another banner. Unfortunately, the tracking industry is pushing back – and so far, they’ve been successful. We need YOUR help to #KillTheCookieBanner!

I am not against cookie banners, I own a few web apps and each of them have proper configurable cookie settings (including the banner).

All I am saying is that most companies (especially one's that do not reside in EU) do not care and will track you across websites by fingerprinting your hardware when visiting their website. Some do not even use cookies at all.
