Meta: instead of accepting cookies click at 'manage' and be in awe.
- yipbub 8y agoMaking GDPR rights cumbersome to claim.
- NullPrefix 8y agoCheckmarks are ticked by default, so it looks like opt out, not opt in.
- mattlondon 8y agoWhich I believe flies in the face of the recommendations. I am not an expert on this but I think that all consent should be deliberate and informed, and not "automatic - opps I just clicked through and automatically signed up because I didn't read to the end."
- kapep 8y agoIt's a shady tactic to just get you to accept cookies. If the tracking is not active until you actually click accept though, I think it should technically still count as opt-in? I mean they make you jump through hoops if you want no tracking and get rid of the cookie banner - but you could also just ignore it for the same effect, as the banner does not limit the use of the site (unlike banners of others websites that block the whole content until you take action).
- Joeri 8y agoWhich is in violation of GDPR, so very odd they go through all the effort to almost be compliant without actually getting the benefit of compliance.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 8y agoThis way, they get people to think that GDPR has little effect and is mostly a burden.
- mattmanser 8y agoI always click manage and opt out and insane opt outs like this is actually quite common, a lot of news sites with tracking seem to have like 50-100 opt outs, it's insane. There seems to be a company providing this as a service and their's is one of the worst, with a load of the sites requiring you to go to distinct external sites to opt out.
