When will the browsers take care of handling the cookie options for all the sites, so I can declare my preferences once and everyone stops putting up a popup? Surely this is already in the works?
- 6510 4y agoRight, the consent window should have been a browser thing so that it is always the same and so that it follows the laws and cant involve dark patterns. By reading this message you agree with it.
- fleddr 4y agoThe answer is similar to the DNT (do not track) debacle. When you give users a clear, informed, singular choice that would be sticky across their entire web/app experience, the choice in itself essentially becomes obsolete. Since pretty much nobody opts-in. You saw the effect with Apple's new "do you want to be tracked" permission, which has a disastrous impact on Facebook. Consider that this is still a per-app permission, imagine the impact when its a single permission across all apps. As users we may say "good" and "this is what we want", but I don't think we can truly oversee what impact that would have.
- 6510 4y agoFacebook neither needs or deserves my pity. If person A wants to do something to B that we can assume B does not approve of then A can ask if its okay. If A would never approve it doesn't magically become okay to do it. The thing could only happen if A has authority over B. As FB is not ur mum, not the government and not your employer they should ask the question or shut up.
