OT: a cookie banner showed up and after I agreed it stated "preparing your Cookie preferences can take minutes". And it took indeed very long (a minute?), I was even able to do a screenshot: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/129644/133563621-62823f50-8c7b-4440-ad77-272c27f68ca1.png https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/129644/133563621-6... What a time ...

You found the TurboTax of cookie banners.

If you turn on all the cookies, and press apply, it's finished immediately!

  Oh, indeed ... and it is reproducible. Maybe they review your NSA track history manually in case you say 'No' to the cookies. (btw: loading the widget itself took over 7 seconds)

> Some opt-outs may fail due to your browsers cookies settings. If you would like to set opt-out preferences using this tool you must allow third party cookies in your browser settings. This has got to be the most obnoxious cookie banner created to date. Also, have you checked their “required cookies”? Most likely one giant GDPR violation.

On Firefox, you need the following addons * I don't care about cookies (which will remove all cookie banners; but I think uBlock Origin can also do it with the right list) * Cookie AutoDelete (to delete all cookies as soon as you close the tab)

  Temporary Containers and clicking "I agree to all cookies" works more naturally I think. Also, this way your browsing is separated from your logged in facebook, google etc session too.

yeah, it's a wide-spread dark ux pattern at this stage;/ https://twitter.com/pixelscript/status/1436664488913215490 https://twitter.com/pixelscript/status/1436664488913215490

This exact company (TrustArc) was covered a few days ago in a story about Starbucks doing this kind of UX failure designed to keep users from disabling their cookies.
