Quite struck on this visit how ubiquitous and how pointless cookie warnings are on the web in Europe.

It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
After years of suffering this digital torture, a newAItool has finally offered hope of an escape.
Named CookieEnforcer, the system was created by researchers from Google and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Yet it could also end the constant hassle of navigating the notices.
The system first detects the dreaded warnings by scanning the rendering pattern of their HTML elements.
CookieEnforcer then analyses the notices and predicts which actions will disable all unnecessary cookies.
Finally, the machine-learning model selects the chosen configs.
