  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.

    They’re not allowed to collect data as long as the “yes” button hasn’t been clicked. Now, in practice, implementation correctness may vary

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

    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!

  Literally baked into http is a “referrer URL” option.

  None of this is new. It’s literally built into the protocols we use daily.

    Very true, you’re right.

    It’s just that the sort of “depth” and “breadth” of the tracking has evolved, as well as the ways marketers use that information.

  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.
