It’s been a pain in everyone’s butt for some time. That darn cookie notice that sometimes pops up at the bottom of the page. Or, that pops up all the time. It’s an inconsistent experience.
Here’s what it’s all about. Wait. We covered all that before. Go read about it if you want.
Short answer is that it’s an EU thing. But do we care? Well, I decided to see just how many of you are from outside the U.S. And the answer is: 18.1% of you. Our stats show that 81.9% of all visitors to the Website are in the U.S. And, if my math is right (and it is) that means that … um … carry the one … a bunch of you … are not in the U.S.
Now, to be sure, not everyone outside the U.S. is in the EU. But, a good number of you non-U.S. folks are in the EU. So, we kept that darn thing around.
But no more.
We didn’t get rid of the cookie notice, we just made it so it doesn’t pop up (or over) any more. It’s sitting there at the top of one of the sidebars.
So, no more annoying cookie pop-up/pop-over. Just an annoying box in the sidebar that won’t go away.
Happy now? Good. Now, go punch a hippie in the face. You’ll feel even happier.
Oh good. You only moved it. I wanted to make sure I was warned. My short term memory hasn’t been worth a hoot since I ate all that acid.
Maybe if you eat a bunch more it will come back.
Or maybe eat an elephant.
Right now India is having a special on drunk passed out elephants.
Damn Europeans with their damn fascist ways.
So you’re going to lose all the Germans who visit humor sites? Both of them?
Sad, ain’t it?
Q. When is a warning no longer a warning.
A. When it is on virtually everything
i.e., California Prop 65.
Overuse a warning nullifies.
See fable: Boy that cries wolf.
Ha! Europeans don’t punch hippies in the face…hippies punch them in the face!
