If your cookie dialog doesn’t have a “reject all” button at the top level, or worse, doesn't even have the button at all and makes me uncheck 200 options of “legitimate use” manually, I consider you of highly dubious moral character.

@jamesthomson This is why I have used a lot of private browsing to read articles on completely legit sites. I simply click on Accept all, read what I need and close it, hoping the browser won’t leave any trail behind on my device. The only downside is that the tracking will be 100 % enabled on their side, in the logs and maybe some database or they will sell my data to third-parties.
So … no, it’s not ideal. I just find it practical if I absolutely want to visit the website.

@jamesthomson I will also just press back, aggressively, if I have the opinion

@jamesthomson I'm currently in a project where we will be changing the presentation of a cookie banner. It's currently a typical (but compliant) "Allow All" / "Essential Only".
UK law changed and there is no longer a requirement for there to be a "reject all" because "we" are allowed to do some collectiong of data for analytics, A:B testing and some other things.
I'm not sure if we're going to be one of the first, big sites that will be doing this

@jamesthomson My understanding of GDPR is that they’re legally required to have the reject all button be top level and the same size as the accept all button. Unfortunately that’s enforced approximately never
@avakining @jamesthomson The ICO are not the most well funded org. I have been part of the process where they put a site under investigation (my understanding is they tend to pick on the top 1,000 most popular UK sites).
They did not bring up the mismatch in size of accept versus reject buttons, but they were absolutely on the ball with checking what cookies / platforms were collecting data without proper consent.

@jamesthomson Man this is the first time I see anyone else post about this here.

@digitalstefan Ugh, why would the UK do that?

@renardboy Look, maybe not an original thought, but it was annoying me!

@jamesthomson In Europe, AFAIK that's a violation of GDPR, yet no one seems to care.

@bnlandor @jamesthomson it's all gone quiet since #Facebook got away with "pay up or loose your privacy" modal

I consider websites and organizations that do not respect or allow consent, the same as people who do the same.

@jamesthomson I want to meet the person who sees a cookie dialog and thinks “hm, yes, 110 advertising partners deserve a little treat today”

Chances are good you will not need cookies to navigate the site anyway, as you will not be digging deeper into site content and web map, or changing s thing, only passively reading one article.

@jamesthomson doesn't seem like a website worth visiting

@isaaclyman @jamesthomson Maybe they even pay to show up as an advertiser. Kind of a marketing scheme?

@jamesthomson Sometimes I wonder if it's actual humans implementing those things. Like, someone has looked at it and thought "this is fine”, and then shown it to their boss and their boss is like "this is fine" ... on every single one.
I've never been able to bring myself to do it.
