Alex is one of the best technical explainers on any platform and should be followed !
An article shows that Europeans spend over 575 M hours annually on consent prompts. I reviewed some points to explain the result should be lower (cookie life time, banner disappear after clicking YES etc...) www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
