Cookie warnings have got worse and worse. There are sites now that list 200+ checkboxes with a handy "reject all", but if you don't click through to the list of "legitimate interest" sites you miss out on rejecting 200+ more advertising partners (who somehow have "legitimate interest") with no reject all option.
- chrisfinazzo 5y agoWhile GDPR and related laws (mostly) do the correct thing with respect to privacy, their emergence into the real world has only accelerated this trend. Really needs a course correct to find a better balance...

- dspillett 5y agoThis is very common, and why I avoid add-on or user-script based solutions that click “reject all” – the authors of those awful dialogues will find yet another way of turning “reject all” into “go right ahead”. “Legitimate interest” is proof that “your privacy is valuable to us” just means “we are happy to shatter your privacy in exchange for some value”. Every “legitimate interest” box basically says “we see your preference, but fuck you and your preferences”.
