I agree, sites shouldn't be doing the things that require showing one.

How is this a dark pattern?

Indeed! If such tracking has to be allowed, I'm happy that at least I can opt out of it.
- phendrenad2 4y ago> I agree, sites shouldn't be doing the things that require showing one Like what, showing ads? Collecting payment from the user in leiu of ads? I wonder what website you're imagining that doesn't do something that requires a cookie consent popup. GeoCities, maybe?
- roelschroeven 4y agoIt's perfectly possible to show ads without collecting data about your users; printed publications have done it for ages. Currently the big players are very heavily pushing for a model with ridiculous levels of user tracking (to the point that many people believe ads and user tracking are inseparably connected), but that doesn't mean it's the only possible model.
- revelio 4y agoPrint publications give their advertisers detailed demographic data collected via surveys and other techniques. The idea they don't collect data about their readers is wrong.
- Moldoteck 4y agoTracking is needed for relevant ads. No tracking means you still get ads, just not relevant to your interests
- phendrenad2 4y agoSo sites need to have their own in-house advertising platform, I guess, because all of the major advertising platforms assume that they'll be able to keep track of how many unique ad views they're getting.
