My problem is that since it came into force, every website bothers me with these popups and of course most of the time you click 'yes' because you wanted something off the website and clicking 'no' probably won't help you get it. The flaw is that while they seemed to expect that lots of companies would stop using cookies on their websites, instead you just get these damn popups from them all to which 99% of everyone is clicking 'yes' because even asking that kind of question is not really suitable for a vast majority of the population that simply doesn't know about cookies.

It hasn't significantly improved privacy for anyone but has made the Internet a bit more annoying.
