If I ignore privacy banners (or click the 'x') do the websites I visit go about their business as if I had clicked accept?

- pornel 6y agoIt's not legal, but they probably do so anyway.
- marssaxman 6y agoI use uBlock Origin to delete the GDPR banner, clicking neither "accept" nor "reject". I just hide it. I have no idea whether this makes any legal difference, and I am sure the assholes responsible don't care either way, but it makes me feel better to circumvent the silliness.
- ezzato 6y agoSome do some don't. The GDPR strictly requires an explicit opt-in. So it's reasonable to assume that clicking on 'X' is a rejection. But some website do not accept that as a rejection.
- mnw21cam 6y agoThis particular web site states openly that they do take clicking on the "X" as acceptance of tracking.
