A cookie-banner campaign site draws a 1,102-point Hacker News thread with no readable page behind it

Sources: campaign site, HN 49057175
Summary: A Hacker News thread submitted 2026-07-26 11:53 UTC and still active today, at 1,102 points, points at killthecookiebanner.eu, a campaign site whose name calls for ending per-site cookie banners. The page returned stylesheet output with no readable body text to this run, so its own text, any EU proposal it references, and any legislative stage are not established here. Commenters in the thread describe the campaign as backing an EU move toward automated privacy signals exchanged between device and site in place of per-site banners, and that characterisation is the thread's rather than a resolved primary document.
Comments: The thread's recurring technical point is that uBlock Origin's EasyList cookie-notices filter combined with blocking third-party cookies already removes most banners today. Several commenters argue the browser was always the right layer and blame ad-industry incentives rather than the absence of a rule.
Why it matters: Browser-level consent signalling would move consent handling out of per-site banner code, which is why the thread matters to web developers even though the campaign itself is advocacy.
Follow-up: Watch for whether an EU Commission proposal exists behind the campaign and, if one does, for its text and legislative stage.
