Agree this is bullshit, but at least there’s a Reject All button which is far more than we probably would have got prior to the introduction of GDPR.
I went on a site the other day, and a massive popup appeared before I could do anything.
“We Respect Your Privacy”
1200+ “data partners”.
Big blue “Accept” button.
Yeah, no you don’t.
They mean we respect your privacy because we were forced to and we whined and bitched about it the whole time.
Jeez, if I’m that popular, why aren’t all those 766 members of my fanclub following me on Instagram?
Libreoffice? Open office? Thunderbird? Proton unlimited with its calendar?
It really does shock me, even though it should not at this point, that nearly all governments, even more progressive ones in terms of privacy, are absolutely just watching from the sidelines as the fabric of their own society is deteriorating. Bravo leaders. Bravo. /s
Literally who would knowingly accept that
I’ve been a software developer for nearly 25 years now, and I can tell you this.
No cunt reads anything.
Something pops up over the top of what they want, they’ll click OK.
With dark patterns you can “guide” the user to click a particular button, for example by having “accept” in a large, bright stand out colored button, and the “reject” button in a low contrast, small or disabled looking button.
This will not prevent people from clicking reject, but it shifts the percentage of people clicking accept vs reject in the websites favor.
Or they call tech support and say their computer doesn’t work anymore
As the spouse of an inpatient person who doesn’t like tech, you’re completely correct.

Outlook also sends all your email, including those from other accounts, to their cloud. No questions asked. Oh, also your password, because why not?

They’ll write “you’re welcome” on your bathroom mirror when they track that you’re in the shower.
At least there’s a “Reject all” button.
God can you imagine.
768 collapsed areas for each one. You have to expand that area and click the small slider with a 3 second UI freeze each time you do.
Then at the end when you click apply, you get a spinning wheel with “Applying your choices” that seems like it has timed out.
But half of them have a web link to go to another website’s main page, in order to manually find the overall 3rd party opt out, which it may or may not remember on the next site you visit that uses it, but you can’t tell so you better do it again anyway next time.
Even I get partway through and I wonder if I’m not getting too old for this internet shit. I guarantee most people are not bothering.
No, just make it a permanent cookie to reject so if the cookies get deleted (as they usually do) you’re back to being tracked
Of course I can imagine, I ve used windows for thirty years now.
Oh well as long as it’s their legitimate interest, then by all means!
In their defence, that is the correct term for this kind of data processing. Legitimate Interest
Good link, thank you.
Still-- Given that “marketing” is an example of a valid legitimate interest, Ima give that a no thanks.
Same here
