Thing is, if someone can show that they were tricked into giving consent when they were not willing to, then you're still in violation of GDPR. So those convoluted forms might not give those companies the legal protection they they hope for.
And yes, I'd assume the "phony consent" rate to be much higher, because in some cases I also cannot find the no button and/or accidentally tap on the huge yes button on my phone when my intention was to click the tiny no link next to it.
- mehrdadn 6y agoHow do you prove you were tricked into giving consent to tracking?
- gpderetta 6y agoI think it is responsibility of the company to show that meaningful consent was freely given.
- fxtentacle 6y agoRecord screen sharing of 50 people that you instruct to withdraw consent. If 5+ of them fail, you have made your point that the UI is too misleading to provide legal compliance with GDPR => they are now liable for high fines
- VBprogrammer 6y agoI think those are just designed to show some attempt at compliance; muddying the waters of any future regulatory action. Perhaps because their business model is unsustainable without pervasive tracking.
