Does this "reject all" accept the "legitimate uses" which very clearly break GDPR?
Most GDPR dialog windows I've encountered have made it harder to opt out of what they incorrectly claim to be "legitimate interests". According to GDPR, a "legitimate interest" has very clear requirements, which are by no means met. This "legitimate interests" very often includes things like "creating a personalized add profile and tying it to external data lakes and devices", which is by no means necessary in order to provide the service.
I'm waiting for what has become the de-facto abuse of GDPR to have a serious reckoning.
- jeroenhd 5y agoThe legitimate interest ticks are just another way for the scum of the web to break the law. I hope the makers of these popups will at some point get fined to hell because of their sneaky attempts to smuggle tracking into the browsers of people who click the "fuck you and fuck your cookies" button.
- Macha 5y agoThe warning shot for "legimate interests" has been fired in the IAB Europe lawsuit, in IAB Europe's position as the advertising interest body which endorsed it for advertising uses: https://iapp.org/news/a/belgian-dpa-fines-iab-europe-250k-euros-over-consent-framework-gdpr-violations/ https://iapp.org/news/a/belgian-dpa-fines-iab-europe-250k-eu... I assume if France was breathing down Google's neck in the design of this feature (or as Google puts it "Providing specific direction"), I assume this does not have legitimate interest bullshit.
