Desensitised? I think not. Every time I see one of these utterly pointless cookie pop-ups it enrages me further that my time (and everyone else's time) has been so thoroughly wasted by this pointless law which accomplishes precisely nothing.
And it's different from the crying wolf of leaving unfixed warnings. The cookie pop-up often cannot be ignored as it requires some action to dismiss in order to view the actual content that the user was looking for in the first place.
- fluoridation 3y ago>Desensitised? I think not. Yes, because you're not thinking about the site asking for permission to track you (which was the original intent of the law), you're annoyed about your time being wasted. Which, I agree, is a total waste of time, but it doesn't counter my point that it desensitizes you to the signal the GDPR was meant to enhance. >The cookie pop-up often cannot be ignored as it requires some action to dismiss in order to view the actual content that the user was looking for in the first place. The user often cannot ignore the dialog in the sense that they cannot avoid interacting with it, but eventually they ignore it in the sense that they learn to automatically dismiss it without even thinking about it, like EULAs in software installers. Thus the dialogs become pointless.
