- psychoslave 3y agoDo they? On my side, when Consent-O-Matic don’t deal with it all automatically, I look for the "deny all" button and just go elsewhere to find the information I need.
- cbeach 3y agoI'd love to install Consent-O-Matic but when I try, my browser warns me that the extension can read and change all my data on all websites. So, the EU makes laws that supposedly protect my privacy, and in order to deal with the awful practical consequences of those laws, I'd need to give an unknown third party access to all my data on all my websites?
- pipo234 3y agoI believe a German (?) court recently ruled that sending a do-not-track header in HTTP request is sufficient. So essentially, a website showing a cookie banner despite a visitor already expressing her/his preference using DNT, is a malfunctioning website. Now all we need is some carrots or sticks to nudge companies to fix their websites. Like fines or decreased search ranking.
- jansan 3y agoYes, they do. Maybe some nerds don't, but 90% of people do.
- piva00 3y agoThat's because the implementation is illegal, it should show "Agree to all" and "Refuse all" in the same context, the implementations have decided, as a strategy, to bury the refusal which goes against even the text of the law which states it should be as easy to give as to remove consent.
- jansan 3y agoIt's not buried. They make one button green and the other grey, and 90% of users will click on the green button.
