If anyone from CF is here, could you please add a standard “X to close” button (reject all) at the top right?

  Or similarly I'd love a "Only necessary cookies" button on the dialog box. It always feels like a scammy dark pattern for "accept cookies" to be one obvious click when rejecting advertising cookies is buried in a menu.

    Isn't that just the "reject all" button in the provided screenshots? The dark pattern you describe is shown in the first screenshot as an example of what not to do: they say it "can at best be frustrating to users and at worst draw enforcement actions from regulators in a number of jurisdictions", which is a nice way to say it's annoying and illegal.

      Ah my mistake - I just skimmed the article looking for examples of what their system looks like.

    This consent manager does not interfere with necessary cookies. As under GDPR you don't need to ask for consent to necessary cookies, we left it out of the consent modal (Disclaimer: I'm on the team behind this feature)

  The problem with the "X" button is twofold: 1. It's usually hard to find and to touch on a mobile device 2. Many websites use the dark pattern where clicking "X" is actually a way to give consent (or so they claim, as such "consent" is not valid under the GDPR rules). Due to that, many users are habitually confused about what will happen to their data choices if they press "X". (Disclaimer: I'm on the team behind this feature)
