Don't forget the "legitimate interest" cookies that you can't even disable because the dickheads selling the ads think the law doesn't apply to them!

Reject button...but you have to pay to use 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.
CNIL (French privacy body) ruled that it was legal except for government websites. A lot of French newspapers do it.
Wow... How did they argue that consent was still "freely given"? And also that it is "as easy" to give as it is to withdraw consent?
Relevant quotes:
Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.
It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.
They say it's legal, as it is a viable alternative to tracking, but has to be a reasonable amount.

Damn... That is very disappointing.
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, autogenerated, copy paste stuff on the web and search results 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.
Yeah, I would love it if instead of accepting cookies people stopped visiting those sites, but most will just accept and move on. I hope the EU rules this as not complying with GDPR or something and they need to revert the changes, but I have no idea if it will actually happen.
Clicks no.
Website forgets your option. Asks again.
Damn it. Can you just remember that one cookie thing? Where's that option?
Some websites allow “strictly necessary cookies”…those work on some websites.
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.
I don't want any cookies unless they come with milk (or save my login info for return visits on the same device).
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?
Fuck Veggie Tales. That shit is creepy Christian propaganda
That shit is ~~creepy~~ hilarious Christian propaganda
I 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.
