That trouble exists because Art. 7 GDPR only requires that withdrawing consent must be as easy as providing consent. It does not state that declining consent must be as easy as consenting. and is being closed as more and more courts rule on it.
I believe all of the default cookie banner plugins will update and add the Reject All button in the first layer soon.There are arguments against requiring a “Reject All” button in the first layer of a cookie consent management solution. This requirement is not explicitly included in the GDPR or the EU ePrivacy Directive. Art. 7 GDPR only requires that withdrawing consent must be as easy as providing consent. It does not state that declining consent must be as easy as consenting. However, the trend of the published views of the data protection authorities is towards including a “Reject All” button also in the first layer. Organizations should thus review compliance of their cookie consent solutions.
The Hanover Administrative Court in Germany delivered a landmark ruling that strengthens digital privacy protections by targeting manipulative cookie banners as Germany continues to take a strong stance against manipulative cookie consent banners that engage in dark patterns. This decision, led by Lower Saxony Data Protection Officer Denis Lehmkemper, mandates that websites must provide users with a clear, easy, and genuine choice to reject cookies, specifically requiring a visible “reject all” button alongside any “accept all” option.

The EU has a globally available browser extension called Consent-O-Matic which is available for every browser I’ve used so far. It’s also free.

Ublock Origin
Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
You can turn on a filter list in uBlock Origin, to have those Cookie notices automatically hidden.
Combine with e.g. Cookie AutoDelete to automatically delete whatever cookies still get stored.

And there is 0 legitimate reasons to use cookies in 2025, there are technologies for everything that do not coincidentally do illegal tracking.

Have fun building a login without cookies. I’m sure it’s possible, but session cookies are by far the most common and secure mechanism, used basically everywhere including Lemmy
alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Have plenty of thos. The fact they are common is a shame.

Just watching it going through the banner and disabling everything is mesmerizing.

One of the reasons I use private-mode 99.999% of the time.

That fixes local logs. Like for your partner seeing your porn in browser history on a shared computer, or ‘cis woman fucks trans woman with massive xenomorph forehead strap-on’ to not auto complete in front of your boss when typing in a search.

… And the cookies are also deleted when I close the window, where I can then re-open the browser for a different site if I like.

Did you know you can block these with most decent adblock plugins? Hide that element babyyyyy
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
You rarely even need to hide the element; Just enable the Cookie Consent blocklist in uBlock Origin.
sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
wow, didn’t know unblock origin had that. I need to go find that feature

Brave browser can block all third party cookies and delete the ones from any website you close all tabs from iif you don’t want the cookies from those sites to be saved
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
Yeah but then you have to run Brave browser 🤢
Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Yeah, third-party cookies are blocked by default and the remaining cookies can be automatically deleted with Cookie AutoDelete.

Brave is cryptofasch bullshit. Do not use it.
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Brave Browser is run by a bigot.
Use Firefox with Ublock Origin instead.
ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Brave Browser’s CEO is an anti LGBT+ bigot.
what did he say that makes you think that? Do you even know what he said? or are you going to be yet another person who has said that to me who never answers that question?

It’s always funny seeing the huge disconnect between Lemmy and Reddit on this one specific topic. On Reddit, Brave’s marketing was wildly successful. If you say anything negative about it, you’ll almost immediately be buried in downvotes. But here, it is known as a conservative cryptobro grift, so mentioning anything positive about it gets you attacked.

the moment that Brave stops working well is the moment I stop praising it.
unlike chrome and firefox, it’s easy to turn off the crap in brave, the options to turn those things off are right in plain sight and easy to figure out
I’m not so sure how politics got into a web browser with integrated adblocking though. Supposedly the creator of Brave was fired from mozilla for being a bigot. But no one who says that has ever been able to tell me what he said that was so horrible that he had to be fired. Which leads me to believe it’s either a flat out lie that didn’t happen at all or it was blown out of proportion
on top of that, Google’s war on adblockers is more than just blocking you from accessing youtube, there’s also lots of google-funded propaganda about the makers of adblocking software and the software its self. But it’s not just google funding that kind of propaganda it’s all the other malware companies funding it too.
what do I mean by “malware companies”? all online advertising is malware and blocking it should be considered part of any security setup

“We and our 2,565 advertising partners respect your privacy” is always a good laugh before hitting decline on the ones uBlock doesn’t catch automatically

I also love seeing the “legitimate interest” ad/tracking cookies that don’t get disabled automatically. GDPR’s big mistake was allowing the trackers to decide whether or not they have a legitimate interest. Because of course a bunch of scummy ones just automatically list themselves as legitimate.
