Abrogate the EU cookie laws

the directive that requires websites to get consent before dropping cookies on a user's device should be abrogated – or at very least heavily updated.

The ePrivacy Directive (ePD) has literally destroyed the web.

If it is politically impossible to abrogate it, we should change the mechanism – it should ask the suppliers of browsers to provide the users who want to micromanage their cookies a tab on the browser setting to do all the micromanaging they want.

For all normal users the cookies should always be automatically set to β€œallow all cookies”. No site should ever have to display a cookie banner. No penalty or fine should be imposed to websites due their cookie configurations.
