But Consent-O-Matic doesn't just block cookie notices, it clicks on the appropriate buttons to deny them first for the major kinds of cookie dialogs.
- MarsIronPI 11mo agoIsn't the point of the notices that you have to explicitly agree to them for the site to be allowed to track you? Wouldn't never accepting be equivalent to rejecting?
- nottorp 11mo agoSome of them still come preset to accept all.
- MarsIronPI 11mo agoIs that legal per the GDPR?
- encom 11mo agoI refuse to engage with them on principle and will not signal denial or acceptance, because doing so would legitimise this farcical, dilettante excuse for a government "solution".
- nottorp 11mo agoIt's not a government solution. All they have to do is not track you. Private industry invented these dialogs in the hope that you'll be too tired to deny anything.
- encom 11mo agoI get the point you're trying to make, but it absolutely is a government solution, because it was obvious to anyone that this would be the result. And there has been nothing done to remedy or even admit their failure. Asking big tech nicely not to be evil has never worked. Besides, there are plenty of cases where websites without tracking have the popups anyway, just to be on the safe side from the wrath of EU bureaucracy.
