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.
