Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The cookie selections and the general cookie rejection process of this site is ridiculous

That's the first thing I was going to mention. I just closed the page without reading the article.

Same, it was a pointless endeavor.

It does at least seem to follow the law, even if it does do the old "Toggle it all and go fuck yourself" button at the end.

The early ones had it all on by default. The Tumbler one was a sight to behold as you toggled off all their 1000 trusted data partners.

In EU it needs to be as easy to reject cookies as it is to accept. Having to scroll to the bottom makes it much more annoying so I don’t think it’s legal. What can we do about it anyways?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

Probably nothing.

I saw one the other day where the reject button was "Decline all and pay"...

Install ghostery and hit up the CNIL here in France I guess.
