The only reason you find this annoying is because of malicious compliance by the companies behind the sites.
The amount of time and money the sites put down into designing the user interface to trick you into clicking “Accept all” is impressive.
All it would have taken would have been a default setting in your browser like “all cookies”, “let me choose” and “only necessary”.
But hey, then the sites wouldn’t be able to trick you into accepting being tracked, now would they?
Everything done to make the Internet ‘safer’ and/or more clear to idiots has made it worse for anyone competent. The ability to control cookies was always there and worked completely fine since the 90s.
Forced two factor authentication is another one. I literally never had any issues before two-factor because I just used different unique passwords and didn’t share them with anyone. I have never been ‘hacked’ even once for 20+ years online. But now, I have issues when travelling and using a local sim with a different number when email authentication isn’t permitted. And all to protect idiots who use ‘hunter2’ for their password across all systems and then act like some elite hacker cracked their code.
I’ve since just set up a voip number purely for two factor phone number based authentication, but it’s annoying I was forced to do that instead of being given the option through and opt-in system.
Been playing a lot of cookie clicker lately…
Hoodwinked??
uBlock origin helps mitigate that but it should be a standard to not get bombarded by this pop-up
This needs to be handled by browsers. At this point when any website asks me the same thing in a huge page blocking pop up that I’ve already went through the settings for a hundred times over, I’m just leaving the site.
I’ve got third-party cookies disabled entirely. I click whatever makes the dialogue go away faster.
These banners mostly arent asking for 3rd party cookies, but cookies which arent necessary for the usage of the website like analytics.
And to be fair, even if you decline, you only declide storing of the identifier, they can also do fingerprinting without needing cookies.What mobile browser do you use? I use FF but the damn pop ups always seem to want to take multiple steps before they go away.
There are sites that respect the “do not track” setting of the browser and just display a small timed info on your first visit that cookies have been rejected. Examples: geizhals.eu , geizhals.de
This needs to be remade for how Google Chrome is about to handle cookies.
Not true!
In this image the ask takes up only half the page. You need to have a non-consensual video taking up the top half while the cookie ask takes up the bottom half, and then on top of both the subscription ask takes up the whole page.
It’s cook-ception.
There are a few sites that have a menu which asks ‘can we share your information with our 762 advertising partners?’ Uh… no.
But it’s in their Legitimate Interest!™
