Cookie Law API #28

Open varna opened 2 years ago

varna commented 2 years ago

Reality

Cookie Law sucks. All those different popups make me sick.

Goals

Make a "polyfill" for non-existing Browser API that would provide a simple and manageable solution for cookies. This thing should later be adopted as a feature in all browsers. User can set his default preferences via browser extension. If website is using our library, no popups. If user doesn't have our extension, but website does have our lib, users will see the cookie window with good UX.

Non-Goals

There are other things to consider, like Privacy Policies, ToS etc. Which is probably out of scope for this API and should be considered as another, totally different proposal for native API.
