> Many internet users mistake this annoying situation as a direct outcome of the GDPR, when in fact companies misuse designs in violation of the law. The GDPR demands a simple “yes” or “no”, as reasonable people would expect, but companies often have the power over the design and narrative when implementing the GDPR.
Thank you.
Latest annoying offender to me is Stack Overflow with their ridiculous semi-intrusive banner. And if I accept it errors out (probably because the ad-blocker blocks it). So thanks but no thanks.
Why should I be given the equivalent of an intrusive intimate "verification" every time I visit your site?
- hef19898 5y agoI love sites that do that, even three options, "reject all", "accept all" and "only legitimate interest" (whatever that means) are fine. No going through the pages of third parties to make sure all of them are deactivated. No ridiculous wait times. It could be so easy.
- Google234 5y agoStack overflow has no obligation to function corretly with any arbitrary extension(s)?.
- amatecha 5y agoIt actually also errors out from the "Strict" preset in Privacy preferences in Firefox. Clicking "Customize settings" on the StackOverflow popup thing results in this error on their site: "We couldn’t save your cookie preferences. Please adjust your browser settings or disable ad blocking. You can access your cookie settings at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer." To be fair, Firefox does say this under the Strict setting: Heads up! This setting may cause some websites to not display content or work correctly. If a site seems broken, you may want to turn off tracking protection for that site to load all content.
