These wall designs are really surprising; I would expect bad designs to come from difficulty of implementing data collection management, not the wall UX. Just imagine you're a user seeing this, do you not feel antagonized?
- krageon 8y agoThey're not surprising if you assume the ground state for every company that does not fear the teeth that come with this legislation is malice. They're doing the bare minimum they need to so they can pretend to think they have complied if anyone knocks on their door, while still trampling all over everyone's rights.
- zeta0134 8y agoSince the data collection management would traditionally be stored as a cookie... It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Without tracking, how do you track that consent was revoked? The cookie law bugs me because it's feels like it's being applied in completely the wrong place. Isn't the browser perfectly capable of restricting third party cookies and presenting the necessary legal warnings?
- Fradow 8y agoThe cookie law has exemptions for cookies that are there for technical reasons. For example, your locale, and which cookies you agreed to. The browser cannot differentiate first party cookies that are technical or for tracking.
- thecatspaw 8y agobrowsers can restrict third party cookies. But this is opt-out, default is to allow these. The average user is most likely not aware of these settings.
