You mean developer or website manager who do not apply the law properly. All those deceptive patterns are not part of the GDPR, they should clearly label accept and refuse. I think it will take time for people to stop gathering so much information from users. Once a competitors start to figure it out, users might start using them (i.e. New York Times & GitHub.)

> . All those deceptive patterns are not part of the GDPR GP isn't talking about deceptive patterns. Point is that no one really understand what these popups are for and everyone just blindly clicks ok. I don't think i've ever declined a cookie popup. have you?

  pretty much every time. If I can't find it or it's too much work, I load the page in chrome or just close it

  Every time I see one I go to the options to refuse all, if they do not allow me this option, I leave the page and add their domain name to my no cookie blacklist. It's strenuous, but I prefer to do so.

  I ALWAYS go through them. Either reject, tediously try to find the hidden settings like legitimate interest. Lately I open some sites in incognito window, accept all, then close the window when I'm done. Some science mag I recently visited set 143!! cookies and that's before even showing the consent screen. I've also started to write scrapers for news sites I visit on a daily basis who go over the top with all the tracking and ads. So I "just" scrape their content and have written a frontend to read the content. Most of the time that content is just blown up but if there's something really interesting I have a link to the original article there and again open it in an incognito window. It has become such a chore, when ever I visit a new site on my phone and see a cookie screen, I navigate back and/or open an incognito window. What the EU should do is disallow those cookie full page modal consent windows. Many use overflow: hidden when showing it so you can't just adblock it without having to modify the markup. It has all gone out of hand.

  I click accept all of them cause I use Firefox + Privacy Badger :D Badger icon shows in orange the number blocked resources and cookies and in some sites is an amazingly high number.
