    I just wish it was a native feature of browsers instead of something that is part of the page. Like, all the other permissions - camera, microphone, Bluetooth, USB, etc access - are native, why can't be the "hey let me write some crap onto your device that other pages may or may not read" and "hey lemme see what I wrote onto your device when invoked from another website" requests be native too?

      Librewolf doesn’t save cookies by default, and you can toggle them on if you need to

      Because it would be harder, there are 2 types of cookies: essential ones, necessary for the site to work correctly (remember login, preferences and a bunch of other things) and there are other cookies that are not necessary, and there is no real way to add this distinction since the browser doesn’t really have any way to understand which are which; Also, before anyone reply “but if i don’t want to remember my login?” Some sites still write temporary cookies to work and then delete them

  I love the concept of “Legitimate interest”… Like, why the hell anyone even consider storing my data in ILLEGITIMATE interest?

  • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yeah, and apparently “we’re legitimately interested in your data” is enough to clear that ridiculously low threshold 🤬

  • osanna@lemmy.vg ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I don’t even know what legitimate interest means. Are they saying they’re going to sell my data to someone if they have a legit interest in my data? Who would buy data if they DIDNT have a legit interest in it? I don’t get it

  Just install the Consent-o-matic extension and you get the benefit of rejecting without the faff 90% of the time

    I’m so dumb. I didn’t even know I had to enable that… God it should physically hurt to be this stupid

      Not really, its kind of one those things; if you don’t know, how could you? Unless you’re the kinda person to sit there and read every option of everything.

  I hoped it would be mentioned before, but in the EU 4It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

  Report such sites for non-compliance.

  I’m using Consent-O-Matic and it works surprisingly well.

  I like the button that says reject non essential. That should be a required button.

  1. Open link in private tab
  2. Accept all

  I am authoring an IETF draft to help with this. The agreement formats recently got approved by IEEE.

    Oh, where can I inform myself more about your work?

    source

    • Fmstrat@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      The main site: myterms.info

      My draft, which will likely be introduced to the list this week with a BOF (meeting) request for IETF 126 in Vienna: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-curtis-myterms/

      It’s focused on contractual agreements overall, but it supports machine negotiation based on headers, which is how our reference implementations handles cookie banners.

  On many websites, the cookies are created no matter what you choose. It’s a dark pattern to get you to accept all, yes, but In the end it’s still meaningless.

  Use a decent browser like librewolf which isolates cookies so only the site that created them can access them and clears all cookies on exit - this protects you from bad effects of cookies so you can just accept all. However, you’re still susceptible to IP address based tracking unless you use tor browser or something similar.

    I use a ff plugin called cookie auto delete. I white list some sites like the self hosted stuff, but for the most part, nothing is exempt.

  Why would you put extra effort into telling them you want cookies? Just block everything.

  While you’re wasting your time on clicking shitty popups, I’m already reading the page.

  I recently got an ad about these rail chairs for elderly to get up and down the stairs. I am inu 30s and I am proud that me clicking out all non-essential cookies doesn’t bring me related ads.

  Also, that ad somehow passed through ublock. Not sure how 😅

    i used to get spam calls about back pain medication, i’m 26, no back pain yet, thankfully. but they kept calling me nonetheless

    thankfully i’m european so one day i cited the law to be forgotten, and once they told me “sorry we can’t :(” and i replied “well you better fix that because that’s illegal :)” they hung up immediately and never called me again :D

    Isnt this a feature in base Firefox? You can tell it to delete all cookies on close except for sites you add exceptions for

    • unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      By default firefox can only do this on browser close not on tab close.

  Got librewolf, turned the settings a bit more strict than what comes base, so cookies and site data doesn’t even get saved. Makes me feel good, with that level of ease.

  source
• db_null@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  UBlock handles them well if you enable the cookie notice list. If one slips through, I now accept all because cookies are erased as soon as I close my browser

  • janakali@lemmy.4d2.org ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I just zap the banner and make a mental note to not use this website again. If website is something essential to me - I’d probably add a custom filter, but this wasn’t an issue so far.

  Just open dev tools, storage, nuke them

  source
• Kaligalis@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  What browsers really should implement is to store all third party cookies in a jar for the specific site I am on until I navigate to another domain or close the tab. The cookies are saved and returned to the 3rd party sites embedded in the site I use. But if the same 3rd party sites are also embedded in other sites, they have to send fresh cookies.
  Cookies become useless for tracking and all the legislation specifically around them can be axed.

  • justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    That feature is called containers on Firefox

  I don’t know if it’s just agreeing or disagreeing, but I suspect they’re all selling your data regardless of what you pick.

  Occasional websites I use frequently that use cookies for session management get a whitelist exception.
