Maybe web devs should more carefully consider how much crap third party scripts and resources inject into their sites, rather than caring about a tiny bit of convenience.
Maybe users should be responsible for what they intentionally run on their machines.

just embedding a tweet from Twitter's official embed code makes you violate GDPR (e.g. if you have a blog and want to reference a tweet). Twitter injects a ton of cookies and there's not much you can do about it
Using Google fonts is a violation now. It's a nightmare for web developers.
The section on “ How to avoid GDPR fines in 2022” is naïve to a fault. My personal opinion is that after recent rulings startups need to be very careful. GDPR compliance is practically a nightmare for any entity that even so much implements visitor counter with default http logging turned on. It will be interesting to see how solutions and landscape evolves once GDPR fines come to smaller companies and startups.

"According to France’s privacy watchdog CNIL, Youtube users only had to click once to accept cookies, whereas refusing cookies took multiple clicks. CNIL’s complaint stated that Google purposefully made the consent mechanisms more complex to push consumers to accept cookies––a clear violation of the GDPR’s requirement that companies provide equally simple ways to opt into or out of data collection." So these dark pat…
They were from the start and this was abundantly clear, but given the complete lack of enforcement, people just did whatever the big websites were doing. If these don't get caught, why would they go for random cooking blogs?

Can someone explain to me how GDPR makes you responsible for twitter collecting data? It's not your faukt if twitter has their own cookies... What matters is whi stores the data who in this case is not the person embedding twitter
Even worse, the user loading your page could probably not have known you embedded a Tweet (and sent their data to Twitter) before actually loading the page (if you didn't implement a consent dialog with a reject option).

Nobody in their right mind is going to carefully peruse the cookies and injected JS scripts of every page they visit. No, the onus is clearly on the developers, who are the ones with the professional responsibility to make software that abides by the laws.

The thing is; most sites do not honour your choices or make them as hard as possible as analytics and Adsense are required for monetising. Analytics can be replaced by friendly versions that are gdpr compliant without personal info storage or cookie tracking, but then your monetising (Adsense) or internet marketing (AdWords and landing pages) are not integrated into funnels and a lot harder.
I have tested it with some of our assets (most of which do no tracking at all and only have 1 necessary cookie for login without SaaS cannot work) but a few have Adsense and analytics; we have a small and simply bar; accept or not accept; both is one click. ~90% (not exact as we try to compare the Google analytics which means they did say Accept vs the none cookie analytics which means both accept and not accept) clicks Accept which is enough. We use [0] by the way.
