- fifilura 6y agoI suspect they copied the implementation from the cookie consent game without understanding it was satire. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26511997 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26511997
- nxpnsv 6y agoHaha, yes, that would be one level up...
- Black101 6y agoYou should enable EasyList Cookie filters if you are using uBlock Origin.
- stonesweep 6y agoI just learned of this thanks to the other HN post yesterday(?) and turned it on, with it enabled and visiting the site in this post (multiple times just to be sure) I get no cookies at all saved from them, as well as no "accept our cookies" popups. I'm sold.
- pixelpoet 6y agoIt should be illegal to have these giant lists without a single opt out all button. If they make a cent from users who visit but then leave when they see this giant form, they should be fined into a smoking hole the ground.
- intricatedetail 6y agoConsent should be opt in with everything disabled by default. If it is not then it is not compliant with GDPR so you can report this.
- solarkraft 6y agoThey are, according to the GDPR. For some reason it's just not properly enforced (see the sad state at https://enforcementtracker.com/ https://enforcementtracker.com/). What's particularly funny about this form is that the "legitimate interests" they claim, meaning they don't require consent, can be disabled. Luckily uBlock Origin blocks the stupid form along with 44 other elements.
- nxpnsv 6y agoYup, this is completely wrong with gpdr
