What about an informed "absolutely not"?
- Bewelge 4y agoIn that case websites will absolutely show you a banner and/or intentionally make their services more difficult to use. Any website showing a cookie banner already prioritizes their ad revenue over your convenience of not seeing a banner. So why would they implement any extra work to spare you that banner, if you're one of those customers that won't drive ad revenue?
- nicbou 4y agoI know, I know. If you introduce a blanket "no", websites will ignore it. They're not tracking us because it's what we want.
- IMTDb 4y agoHow can you tell "absolutely not" without going through the 37 pages of their policy, to make sure you understand exactly what you say "no" to ? Maybe there is something different about this specific website that might make you say "I usually say no, but this time, I'll say yes". So, please read those pages - on every website - then systematically click on "Reject all". That's what the law asks you to do, and it is indeed absolutely nuts.
- nicbou 4y agoWhy wouldn't "no, no exceptions" be an invalid answer? "Yes" requires an informed consent, but "no" does not. It's the default.
