Not impressed by their 'Privacy Preference' dark pattern. Accept all is emphasised in green, and presumably disregards the various unticked boxes. The Save button is hidden beneath it with a clearly deliberate low contrast.
And this from an article on UX! I couldn't put it better than their first sentence: As UX experts, we bear the responsibility of introducing the brand or the product to our target audiences in the best ways we can.
- ianbooker 7y agoI second that. Left the page as soon as I saw it.
- pintxo 7y agoThis is so obviously in violation of the law, I am wondering why no Data Protection Agency has started crawling the web for this and automated the process of enforcement.
- tobr 7y agoThe Save button fails every contrast check it possibly could: https://contrastchecker.com/?c=bcbcbc&b=fcfcfc https://contrastchecker.com/?c=bcbcbc&b=fcfcfc If the Accept all button does what you suggest (secretly tick the empty boxes), it is a deeply unethical, and almost definitely illegal design. Edit: Since userpeek appear to have submitted the article themselves, perhaps they have a comment?
