Europeans spend 575 million hours clicking on cookie banners a year. According to a new piece of analysis at least. The research piece also claims that clicking on cookie banners costs around 14.375 billion Euros in lost productivity. Is privacy worth the price?

    No website is forced to add a cookie banner, the law only forces them to get user agreement to collect data. Also most banners are not properly designed.
