GDPRedirect – Become EU compliant in one line of code (satire)
it's satire. You add one script tag and if you're in the EU it traps you in cookie banners you can't get out of. The reject button moves when you try to click it. the legitimate interest toggles turn themselves back on. the privacy policy is 47 pages. at the end you have to prove you're not american by clicking 27 buttons, one per country, in the local language. GET /v1/europeans returns a real 451. every banner is an actual EU law. the bottle caps that won't come off. the €16 tax stamp you buy from a tobacco shop in italy... next.js + sqlite, one file, self hosted. the redirect.js…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
it's satire. You add one script tag and if you're in the EU it traps you in cookie banners you can't get out of. The reject button moves when you try to click it. the legitimate interest toggles turn themselves back on. the privacy policy is 47 pages. at the end you have to prove you're not american by clicking 27 buttons, one per country, in the local language. GET /v1/europeans returns a real 451. every banner is an actual EU law. the bottle caps that won't come off. the €16 tax stamp you buy from a tobacco shop in italy... next.js + sqlite, one file, self hosted. the redirect.js is plain js in a try/catch so it can't break the site it's running on. I've built it to avoid working on what I had to work on. :/ Hope you like it. ps: It shows how stupid some of the laws are.

all alternatives →- ACA Chrome extension that will auto-reject non-essential cookies2025 · blog.bymitch.com · ▲296
A FOSS chrome extension that attempts to remove the annoyance of cookie pop ups and banners. There are some extensions out there that auto-accept cookies, but I didn't find one that auto rejected cookies without either chaining some extensions together or setting up custom rules in tools like uBlock origin. So with this extension, you just need to add it for non-essential cookies to be rejected.

- GSGDPR Shield – Block EU users from accessing your website2018 · ▲20
While I love the EU's new data privacy regulation from a user's perspective, it's a nightmare for businesses to achieve compliance, because of the (sometimes intentionally) vague language of the law. And even if you pay an experienced lawyer to draft the policies and procedures required by GDPR, there's a very real residual risk of predatory law firms collecting penalties from mass-mailed cease-and-desist letters based on technicalities. Even if your business isn't located within the EU, you are required to comply with GDPR because the location of the user matters. I've built a tool that…
- ITIt took me 5() months to build a Plausible alternative2024 · ▲44
After months of using Google Analytics I realized only about 50% of people accepted my cookie-popup. I had months of incorrect data for my website. I started looking for alternatives and eventually found Plausible, which is great (and open-source). Problem is, I didn't feel like paying 9$ a month to see the amount of visitors on a website i didn't even earn anything on, it was just a hobby project. Eventually I started making my own web analytics. Which actually isn't that hard. It took me about a month of working on my spare time every now and then. Being GDPR compliant basically means to…
