That many partners is guaranteed to produce some sort of infection.
This means I close the tab, regardless of what is on the site.

A GDPR infection on the wallet, I’d hope.

Is it ok to slut shame a website for having too many partners?
fnrir@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Is it okay for a salesman to jump into your bed along with their 874 partners in exchange for selling you a newspaper?
(NOTE: Ads DON’T HAVE TO be targeted. You can show ads and not track the user.)Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Or (being devil’s advocate here): just don’t be a fucking slut. Have like 3 partners and have ypur website pick the best offer dynamically, it’s not that hard. In the end they all use AdSense, so they don’t even need to give data to the other 873 or even Google itself - as you said ads don’t have to be targeted. Although it’s not as if it won’t get there anyway.

One time a game asked me to allow cookies, instead of a “deny all” button I had to deny each partner individually. I was standing there disabling every toggle for about 15 minutes because there were 500+ of them.
ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 6 months ago
i would juat have denied that game.

Sounds like fandom.com
Even when disabled at a high level, their sub checks are still there and there are hundred of them. Deceptive BS.
quixotic120@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I don’t even need to worry about the tracking at fandom because they do that stupid “auto play an unrelated video at the top of the screen and once you scroll past it it moves down and perpetually stays on the screen, taking up 30-50% of your mobile screen” so I will always immediately close the page once I see that fucking bullshit
Truly hostile ui design. Just open disdain for their users. At least it’s muted by default

That bloody wiki farm is so user-hostile that there’s at least one extension redirecting its traffic to wikis elsewhere.

You are very dedicated.

that happened to me once, when i got to the bottom of the list there was a Reject All button. i was pissed lol

I would have written a user-script to find all check boxes and check them automatically.
Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 6 months ago
And after I made an AHK script to check all those boxes, I’d make another AHK script to beat the shit out of that game in 10 minutes. If it’s multi-player I’m specifically ruining the fun for others with my cheating. Fuck games like that, fuck companies like that.
They unknowingly provided me with a completely different game to play.

That’s the situation where i close the page, and add it to my blocklist permanently
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Hill Climb Racing did that for me. I tried doing what you did the first time, then it kept sending me that every two days, so I just used Rethink DNS with the block trackers and ads blocklist.
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 6 months ago
okay i agree.
“you have to disable adblock to read the article”
Sure, turned it off.
“you also need to sign in to read it”
Okay, here’s my email.

Some partners do not ask for your consent to process your data and rely on their legitimate business interest.
Sounds a whole hell of a lot like rape language to me
arken@lemmy.world 6 months ago
We need to stop calling these sites and services “free”. Anything that’s financed by ads, spying and profiling is not free, the user is paying with their attention, integrity and right to privacy. This is not nothing.
Presently, it’s a shady and dishonest practice since the terms of the transaction are rarely transparent to the consumer; in other words, it’s a scam.

Is there a way to spoof this personal information randomly?
I mean, denying them my cookies and browsing history and shit defends me from that one site, but salting the earth and poisoning the well with randomized false data must surely weaken the data miners, if done on a broad scale.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
This isn’t random but does poison the well by clicking on every link the ad blocker sees.
I don’t use it myself but I’ve heard great things.
MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Librewolf (Firefox fork with better privacy) + uBlock Origin (comes pre-installed) + “AdGuard – Cookie Notices” filter enabled, plus any of the others you like.
Then bask in the internet without any annoyances, popups, or ads.
renzev@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Ususally just turning off javascript using ublock makes these notices go away. And if turning off javascript breaks the website… well then I guess whatever I was trying to read isn’t really worth my time.

Yep. Watch out it may turn soft on Russia abd its cronies.

one must appreciate the vision and legislation that’s enforced that particular phrasing. it becomes so much more starker – how cavalierly your data is treated.
