Internet's biggest annoyance: Cookie laws should target browsers, not websites

> Imagine if every time you got into your car, you had to manually approve the engine's use of oil, the tires' use of air, and the radio's use of electricity. It’s absurd, right? You’d set your preferences once, and the car would just work.

A funny comparison to me. Actually, I have to manually disable some EU regulated features every time I get into my car. The alerts every time I go 1kmph over the speed limit aren't very relevant for me, and the lane keep alert buzzes as soon as I'm slightly over halfway to the left, but lets me drive along fine if I'm even over the line on the right.

I'd actually like to use both of these, but only if I could calibrate them to my needs.

Just like cookie banners.

Search on forums/etc for your particular car brand about which compatible scan tool to get (you want the manufacturer-specific one to be able to change settings, not the generic OBD2 which only lets you read engine & emissions data), get one and then disable the setting. Those are typically controlled via settings so that the same car can be sold in different regions.
