Just a reminder that you don’t need a cookie consent popup as soon as you collect cookies. It’s just for special cases when you collect non-crucial user information. It’s easy to believe that all sites need those popups because they are on most sites. But you don’t even need it for all types of cookies.

I want to start some movement for embracing and making sites without cookie popups (which means sites that don’t collect unnecessary user data). But since not showing a popup is a statement you don’t notice (because that’s the point!) I don’t know how to do it.
Instead of complaining on sites that show the popup, or trying to change the laws, just make a website that doesn’t collect unnecessary user data. The popup isn’t needed!
Actually, using browser extensions that block cookie popups is bad for the cause, because then you won’t rightfully embrace the popup-free websites and rigthfully penalize the popup-showing websites.
