I'm sure the code they use to do this is throttled. It certainly seems to run more slowly than the "Accept All" option.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoThat's another dark pattern that some sites use (used?), making the process of "storing your cookie preferences" take a long time - you see a spinner for a long time, while the 'accept and dismiss' button stays active and available throughout. It should be illegal. Not accepting cookies is the default and should be a no-op. Accepting cookies is the one that should take a while, since only then do all the 3rd party scripts load in and do their thing.
- gadders 5y agoI completely agree. Making options that the site doesn't want take longer is unacceptable.
