In the US, it’s the opposite. The way the law is written, you have to OPT out. So they’re collecting the moment you land.
I’ve set up a bunch of these cookie banners for US businesses. You can choose if you follow the EU version, or the CCPA version.
Fortunately my VPN usually exits from Europe. The internet default to being less of a dick this way
Wouldn’t really matter for most sites hosted in America. American businesses do not have to comply unless they have EU customers.
International sites like YouTube absolutely has some system that will switch the cookie tracking depending on geo location, from CCPA to GDPR.
But American sites don’t really gaf. Small News site in America, unless they’re paying for a fancy Cookie Consent Management tool, is doing it the US way and it’s opt out, regardless of where you’re coming from.
For example: if Kansas News site gets a warning from the EU about cookies, they’re not going to care. They don’t have the budget, and honestly, easier to just block all IPs from outside the US.
If you hate this, stop using American products and services. (And I say this as a privacy concerned American)
