Is there any option for folks to do an "I accept all cookies but reserve right to manage them myself" setting - and then skip all the popups? In other words, the site can set what it wants, and I can delete what I want?
I really don't need more setting options tweaks etc. How many people do this carefully on each site? How many are annoyed by this STUPID pop up game that means almost nothing.
- XCSme 5y agoBut you can already delete specific cookies from the browser, or you are referring to deleting some other data?
- anyfoo 5y agoI carefully turn them all off. I'd much rather have a setting that says "I don't want to participate in your bullshit". We tried such a thing as "Do Not Track", but companies weren't playing along. So now we have to have this regulation, and you should be upset at the companies who necessitated that regulation, not at the people who are doing their best to keep it being a choice.
- etripe 5y agoThe GDPR is explicit about that: non-functional stuff should be turned off by default. No, marketing isn't functional. If companies follow the law, the default is set at "I don't want to participate in your bullshit". It's just that a lot of companies are employing dark patterns or getting it wrong on purpose, and it's working because people are now annoyed at GDPR instead of the companies doing this.
- anyfoo 5y agoYes, and it's ultimately sad to me, although not terribly surprising, that people are getting annoyed at the legislation instead of the perpetrators.
- SimeVidas 5y agoThere is only an option to reject all cookies via GPC https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. Some sites have started to respect it.
- Sephr 5y agoNote that our consent manager integrates with and respects GPC signals.
- slownews45 5y agoIs there an accept all cookies version of this? Reject all is pointless. You can do it in browser already. You need cookies to hold a login session - folks who try to get websites to block cookies - it doesn't make sense and isn't what most folks want (I need login, shopping cart etc).
- SimeVidas 5y ago> Reject all is pointless. You can do it in browser already. No, you can’t. You can block cookies. GPC enables the ”I reject” signal, so websites that honor GPC don’t have to ask you (i.e., no cookie banner)..
- jlokier 5y agoThere is a crucial difference between login session cookies and personal tracking cookies for ads. You don't even need consent for login session cookies, provided that is all they are used for. Because the user is already asking the site to remember who they are. Similarly for a shopping cart, as the user is asking the site to remember selected items. "Reject all for privacy" is about rejecting personal tracking cookies for ads, usually while keeping essential login and shopping cart cookies.
- peder 5y agoI really want a browser flag like "I DO NOT CARE ABOUT TRACKING" that auto-accepts.
- slownews45 5y agoExactly. I just blow away all cookies but a few selected sites periodically. There are people carefully going through the deep menus that supposedly turn something off. Why not just control yourself, blow them away if you care. But key is - I want to ACCEPT all cookies in return for not being asked at all. If I care about tracking many other solutions I can use.
- tobr 5y agoCookies, OK. But there are other forms of tracking that you can’t undo on your end.
