I personally have never seen a pay to reject. What types of websites have you come across that do that? I’m genuinely curious.

I love the way companies simply refuse to not track us. You guys seen those cookie popups that are like “accept and continue” or “reject and pay” where you have to actually pay to reject cookies? I cannot believe that’s legal at all. Total scumbags.

A lot of news sites! Let me see if I can find one.
I’m pretty sure I saw it on Autosport earlier today. Just opened it in Chrome (ew) – see screenshot!

Oh! Ok. I was under the impression the verbiage had the word Reject in it somewhere; that’s on me. It makes much more sense now, and I get what you’re saying. Thanks for the clarification!

I actually do think I’ve seen variations in this wording over the course of a few months. I’m going to go digging around sites I think are probably less scrupulous to see if I can find examples.
Boom, gotcha. First absolute rag that came to mind. Check it!

They’re doing that because of the GDPR.

That’s sort of what I’m saying, though; I would have thought this would have been a violation of the consent rules in the gdpr

For gdpr it has to be available for a “reasonable price” from what I remember. Facebook has gotten in trouble for this due to the high price they’re charging.

It’s not.
I usually go into zapper mode on ublock to remove the pop up without agreeing, but they probably treat that as “accept and continue”.

Much better: when this happens, I block frames and scripts from loading through ublock.
