Do other folks virtually always go through the whole process of telling them "no, fuck all the cookies you'll let me disable", or is it just me?

I have extensions that do it for me

What works for you? Is it Consent-O-Matic?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I use a blocklist in ublock origin, the box for cookie notices isn't ticked by default but once it was I haven't seen cookie notices for a while. Can't get my consent if your request mysteriously never makes it :P

It works for me on Linux and Windows using Firefox.

I do it too.

Every time. All 13 menu options, "legitimate interest", hidden tick boxes, big fat "YES" button and small grey "confirm my choices" button... ironically, if they didn't try so hard, I think I wouldn't care as much.

There was an update to a word game on my phone, so they made me choose between accepting everything or clicking through 81 vendors (and there was no 'reject all' button). I went with the latter, and every single vendor's 'consent' was automatically off and 'legitimate interest' on. That made me think: "what's included in the legitimate interest bit?". There was a question mark circle next to it, so I clicked:

How does legitimate interest work?

Some vendors are not asking for your consent, but are using your personal data on the basis of their legitimate interest.

Maybe I got it wrong, but to me it felt like "yeah, we will just simply do some things regardless and slap a 'legitimate interest' sticker on it, even though it falls under the same 'we want to sell your data' category."

This annoys me so much. Who tf deemed their interest in my browsing habits "legitimate"? I sure didn't.

I do it for any website I think I'll visit 2 or more times.
