It's not required in my part of the US, but we get them anyway. It turns out it's a lot easier to just turn it on for everyone instead of figuring out who the EU residents are (esp since an EU citizen could easily use a VPN).

And yeah, I do exactly the same. I also use an ad blocker and other privacy settings, so I'm guessing most of the stuff there is blocked regardless, so I mostly hope they'll look at the cookie data and realize people hate that nonsense.
