Needing consent for sending data to Fb is only consequential and consistent with the law's goals. It's been good practice on decent German sites for a long time to present social media buttons as greyed-out icons to indicate tracking code by those third parties is only embedded on the linked page.
- inetknght 7y agoIs that what being greyed out is supposed to convey? I thought it was just another UI design. It certainly does not convey that intuitively. Nothing's preventing Facebook from presenting greyed out versions of their icons, for example.
- tannhaeuser 7y agoTrue. It's just been a convention on tech-related sites for their above-average privacy-aware audience.
- abraae 7y agoInteresting, I would have thought that one of the few UI conventions that is fairly universal is that buttons are greyed out if they are inactive. I'm certain that many people will never click a greyed out button for this reason.
- tannhaeuser 7y agoNot quite greyed-out as in disabled. Not sure merely using a b/w logo without logotext will work out with today's flat designs and usage habits. I remember it being used when minimal design wasn't as common as today, and the icons would stand-out (or rather fade into the background).
