Bakery Sends Real Treats in exchange for Website Cookie
By Carlton Wilcoxson • December 8, 2015
Cookies are great—the sugary, sweet kind, at least. The kind that websites store on your browser can get kind of annoying. Pågen, the leading bakery company in Sweden, has developed a new type of open-source website cookie banner that aims to make the alerts less annoying by offering a sample of real cookies if the user accepts. Since the implementation of the EU Cookie Directive, which requires sites to alert visitors when they store pieces of text on their device as they browse, there has been a large increase in the number of cookie alerts on the web. These banners at the top of websites can often be quite annoying, so Pågen thought it would be nice to offer real cookies in exchange.
