Even if there’s a reject button, still freaking annoying when you start reading and after two seconds you get interrupted by the prompt.
It used to be just the newsletter prompt, the notifications prompt, etc. Don’t need an additional thing by law. 😑 Let’s hope it goes away soon with the current developments.
Don’t need an additional thing by law. 😑
You still don’t need it if you don’t spy on your users. Cookie banners are not required. Asking for consent before collecting data that goes beyond the necessary minimum is required.
Indeed, websites like Wikipedia and Lemmy don’t ask for cookies because they don’t want to invade your privacy.
And they are completely in line with the EU law.
That’s what I meant. I thought that was clear from the context. 😅 My bad.
You can install a browser addon like “I don’t care about cookies” to automatically close these.
Those accept all the cookies.
Better to use Consent-o-Matic, which automatically rejects all unnecessary cookies.
Firefox plus superagent. Superagent is an extention that automatically applies your cookie setting to those prompts and you don’t see them. I now reject all and haven’t seen a pop up since installing. I can’t vouch for its security though. I am pretty new to Firefox, but it seems to work.
I have consent-o-matic, works great on both desktop and mobile. 👍
Clicks no.
Website forgets your option. Asks again.
Damn it. Can you just remember that one cookie thing? Where’s that option?
Accepting 3rd party cookies is just smoke and mirrors. Safari blocks them by default, so websites can just send data through the Webpage Javascript directly to their affiliates if they want to.
Your data is still being collected. To what extent, I don’t know.
The EU mandates active consent for all tracking, not just cookies.
I’m not sure if analytics and data such as browser signature can be rejected if they are considered required, but I’d be keen to know more.
Fuck Veggie Tales. That shit is creepy Christian propaganda

creepyhilarious Christian propaganda
I don’t want any cookies unless they come with milk (or save my login info).
Put a button saying accept all or make you go into a 2nd screen where you have to pick what you want. Guess what most people do to get it out of the way?
Just disable cookies by default or have it session only cookies. Back before Firefox supported Auto rejecting or accepting prompts natively I used to use one of those. It would accept the cookies however since it only allowed session based cookies when I closed my browser It would delete them all.

Reject button…but you have to pay to do it.

That is now actually the case in Spain, some pages make you either accept cookies or pay a subscription fee to remove them. For example, 3djuegos makes you either accept cookies for 799 partners, or pay 2€/month to reject them

Yeah, lots of pages are trying to pull that stunt, which isn’t legal according to the GDPR. Facebook and many news outlets are trying it too.
I filed a complaint about Facebook with my local data protection agency, which agreed and forwarded the case to Ireland. Well see whether Ireland conforms to the GDPR.

If people wouldn’t just accept it, which unfortunately they will do, this would make me the happiest man.
It would kill so many shitty places because people would only pay for the good ones, oh man I would be so happy less shitty stuff on the web and more quality content… Unfortunately that isn’t how it works as most people don’t care or don’t understand the tracking stuff and just accept.
