And it's in German right?

At this time of day, I'd wager half of the users here are able to comprehend German texts. The other half knows how to use a translation tool.

  Funny you should say that... a friend sent me a page in german yesterday, helpfully linked directly through google translate so I can read it in a language i understand. Unfortunately, the cookie dialog was missed by "the translation tool" and both accept and reject kinda look the same to me.

    I concede that cookie banners are not helpful here. I also admit that I rarely see them anymore, as uBlock Origin removes them for me. I probably shouldn't have assumed that the web I see is the web everyone else sees.

      Oh. Very interesting point there. I have uBlock Origin (mind, with the default settings). I also have the Consent-O-Matic autofill extension that's supposed to reject cookies automatically for me. Neither of them seems to catch cookie dialogs on some german sites. Not that I want uBlock to hide the cookie dialogs, I want them explicitly rejected by the other extension. Consent-O-Matic does automatically reject most crap on english and romanian sites so I guess they haven't added support for whatever cookie dialog zeit.de uses (and that's popular on german sites?). > both accept and reject kinda look the same to me I bet that's very intentional too, and there are other ways to phrase it in German so the two options don't look similar.

        Well, I opened them in a plain browser profile and in the non-translated page the options seem clear to me? The buttons literally say this: - Settings / Einstellungen - Accept / Akzeptierten - Reject All / Alle Ablehnen The English translation is on the buttons in the non-translated page and those translations are fine. There's even a reject all button, which is fine too. The only not so nice thing is that the "Accept" button is coloured green. Again, I don't want to defend those banners.

        My dialogue on zeit.de had: "Allen zustimmen" "Ausgewahlten zustimmen" Yep I could look it up. But using the same verb looks like an intentional dark pattern to me. And I wasn't interested enough in the article to jump through the hoops. (Our conversation did make me look it up and neither is 'reject all', they're 'accept all' and 'accept selection').
