hey guys,

Since the EU forced every website in the EU to show a cookie warning. Every website does that except apple. How’s that possible? There are massive fines if you don’t mention it. And apple does use cookies.

Because the user annoyance those God damn ***** cookie warnings is better for the user experience for Apple to take the hit and get fined than have a crap user experience.

But after you’ve been fined, you have to get it right.
Has apple a special deal with the EU?

Not really. The EU don't Control the Internet so it's not like they can remove apple. They would just fine them again. And apple make over $29,000,000 per hour.

I guess it’s gonna be higher anytime they exceed the time limit.
