Thanks for caring about my privacy, CNN, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful in facilitating your solid privacy measures.
You can be more helpful, though.
Go to a different website.
If it were working “as intended”, the site wouldn’t know you’re there. 🤌🏼
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
“You can totally trust us bro”
Lmao, “required componentes to protect your privacy” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You see what they’re actually doing there?
“We are by law forced to give you the option to view our ads and accept our tracking, because of privacy legislation in your region. Since you are hindering us from doing so, you can’t come to the birthday party”.
Ok, thank you EU, I suppose! :)
Pretty sure CNN is (willfully) misinterpreting the law. The EU is definitely not prohibiting them from just turning off the tracking without providing a choice.
Hahaha! “We need access to your private data to protect your privacy.” We’ve come full circle.
Oh no! Anyway…
Ha ha hah!
Turning off Java script worked when this happened to me. Firefox and ublock origin. It breaks some things but you can do it on a per site basis.
CNN Management: I’m worried that since our purchase by a right-wing nut job and our spectacular idiot explosion of the last CEO, that we’re still in danger of being considered a valid corporate news outlet. What can we do?
CNN Schmuck: We could force mandatory tracking and ads on all website visitors.
CNN Management: Brilliant!

I’m afraid that protection might not last long.
We are just rocks tumbling down a cliff side.
An interesting note-
Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave’s users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.
This low percentage actually makes these users more vulnerable to fingerprinting despite them using the more aggressive blocker, because they constitute a discernible subset of users standing out from the rest.
That’s what I’ve always said, you got no out, if youre a big black blob on the map, the connections show exactly who you are.
Fingerprinting is tricky, you have to be as big standard as possible. Ironically privacy plugins make you more identifiable sometimes
I’m a noob… But hear me out. Does anyone make a browser extension that fools the site into thinking you’ve accepted the cookie(s) when you really haven’t?

Thanks to the CNN overlords for caring about privacy. Blatant liars.
CNN might be the only site I’ve seen that actually checks if you have made a cookie choice then. The whole cookie acceptance thing is dumb, but they are following the law.
Thankfully there is a plan that EU will make changes fo current policy so those popups might go away.
The plan should be “Tracking opt-in required - no banners or notifications allowed.”
Looks fine on my end. On firefox with ubo
(i don’t use brave browser btw)
