You Know GDPR Is Good Based on Who Hates It

I hate cookie banners because UX keep going “We keep getting holes in our analytics!” and blaming me for it. I understand the whole “We want to see at what point people are dropping out of the login process so we can make it easier for them to complete the journey” but it’s still fucking annoying when they complain about analytics drops when our users are naturally very privacy focused and I can’t control whether they deny cookies or not!

If your login flow is so complicated that it’s dropping people, it just means that you’re letting sales and marketing assholes add things to it that don’t need to be there, instead of letting the engineers and designers do their jobs.
