Then why is it whenever I watch someone use their computer they always accept cookies?
- cassianoleal 6mo ago1. accepting cookies is not the same as opting-in to advertisement 2. because most of the time, any other option is bloody inconvenient
- crote 6mo agoBecause companies are trying really hard to hide the "no" button: it's a single click to say "yes to all", but a safari through dialogues to say "no to all" Same with websites like Youtube who don't understand a plain "no" but offer a fake choice between "yes, harvest all my data" and "ask me again later". That isn't consent, it's coercion.

- matheusmoreira 6mo agoBecause people don't actually read what they are clicking on or even understand what they're doing. They just want to make the annoying banner go away. Same reason why people mash the next button when installing software.
