Do other folks virtually always go through the whole process of telling them “no, fuck all the cookies you’ll let me disable”, or is it just me?
I have extensions that do it for me
What works for you? Is it Consent-O-Matic?
I use a blocklist in ublock origin, the box for cookie notices isn’t ticked by default but once it was I haven’t seen cookie notices for a while. Can’t get my consent if your request mysteriously never makes it :P
It works for me on Linux and Windows using Firefox.
I do it too.
Every time. All 13 menu options, “legitimate interest”, hidden tick boxes, big fat “YES” button and small grey “confirm my choices” button… ironically, if they didn’t try so hard, I think I wouldn’t care as much.
There was an update to a word game on my phone, so they made me choose between accepting everything or clicking through 81 vendors (and there was no ‘reject all’ button). I went with the latter, and every single vendor’s ‘consent’ was automatically off and ‘legitimate interest’ on. That made me think: “what’s included in the legitimate interest bit?”. There was a question mark circle next to it, so I clicked:
How does legitimate interest work?
Some vendors are not asking for your consent, but are using your personal data on the basis of their legitimate interest.
Maybe I got it wrong, but to me it felt like “yeah, we will just simply do some things regardless and slap a ‘legitimate interest’ sticker on it, even though it falls under the same ‘we want to sell your data’ category.”
This annoys me so much. Who tf deemed their interest in my browsing habits “legitimate”? I sure didn’t.
But keep in mind, before that we had them all silently assume you want all the cookies. It’s not perfect, but it’s an improvement.
Better then nothing 👌
This needs to be handled by browsers. At this point when any website asks me the same thing in a huge page blocking pop up that I’ve already went through the settings for a hundred times over, I’m just leaving the site.
Firefox has started to add a built-in cookie denier.
There are sites that respect the “do not track” setting of the browser and just display a small timed info on your first visit that cookies have been rejected. Examples: geizhals.eu , geizhals.de
Hoodwinked??
Yep!
The animation was raw and unrefined but the story was ahead of its time
100% agree. I recently made a community for it actually since it’s such a underrated gem!
Oh holy shit, I was reading through the comments seeing if anyone was talking about where this came from and am damn glad I found this haha
“I was prepared!!!”
Websites only have to show this annoying pop-up if they’re trying to track you with cookies. If you’re annoyed, it’s the result of the site’s shitty data practices
The EU knows and is working on it https://www.techspot.com/news/101396-european-union-set-revise-cookie-law-admits-cookie.html
Can’t wait.
Not true!
In this image the ask takes up only half the page. You need to have a non-consensual video taking up the top half while the cookie ask takes up the bottom half, and then on top of both the subscription ask takes up the whole page.
It’s cook-ception.
And some Twitter embeds with a little X logo in the top right meant to look like a close button, but it’s actually a link to the site. I swear, these internet billionaires have become rich with stupid little “tricks” that shouldn’t fool anyone, but apparently fool most people.
The Musk figures that it would have fooled him, hence it is bound to fool others? :-P
uBlock origin helps mitigate that but it should be a standard to not get bombarded by this pop-up
The only reason you find this annoying is because of malicious compliance by the companies behind the sites.
The amount of time and money the sites put down into designing the user interface to trick you into clicking “Accept all” is impressive.
All it would have taken would have been a default setting in your browser like “all cookies”, “let me choose” and “only necessary”.
But hey, then the sites wouldn’t be able to trick you into accepting being tracked, now would they?
Oh my God, it’s been so long since I watched that.
Been playing a lot of cookie clicker lately…
It’s a sabotage against small websites by the big tech.
