How to use a website:

[fenixmaster@mastodon.social]

@maxleibman Ik draai pihole en krijg regelmatig het verzoek van websites mijn add blocker uit te schakelen. Ja, daag. Dan ben ik weer weg en mis de informatie niet.

[jigmedatse@social.openpsychology.net]

@maxleibman@beige.party I skip to step 12 unless something seems very much worth jumping through all the hoops.

[gytisrepecka@social.gyt.is]

@maxleibman Internet as we have it today

[kdelta@ieji.de]

@nicolaottomano @maxleibman Unless you are using cookies to snoopy on folk then I don’t think cookie banners are mandatory at all. The EU is already pissed off with the laziness of companies who just dumped a “is it okay” prompt on their sites and are loooking to further change the legislation. It was supposed to encourage companies to stop snooping, not just expect them all to give a pop-up demanding permission and making web browsing annoying.

8a. allow your location

[daz@floss.social]

@seindal @nicolaottomano yep.
From the gov.uk advice...

> "You can choose not to have a cookie banner if the service only sets essential or ‘strictly necessary’ cookies, as these do not need user consent."

@maxleibman 1a) leave page because fuck that noise.

[epistomai@mastodon.social]

@drewph @maxleibman I almost always use librewolf. It has many strict rules by default that sometimes give annoying results in webpages, and I never lower the strict bar

[lstn2urmama4@zeroes.ca]

@maxleibman Nah !! Prove you are what I want 1st ....

[raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest]

@maxleibman@beige.party
Gotcha!
Like this, right?

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@nicolaottomano @maxleibman If you’re not tracking, theres a big chance that the banner is not needed.

[azurearmageddon@mastodon.online]

@maxleibman i sometimes open Links web browser on the terminal and navigate to wikipedia just to see what once was for a twinkle in time

[da1mon@radiosocial.de]

@maxleibman paywall?

[anguadelphine@mk.absturztau.be]

@maxleibman@beige.party

13: wake up in a cold sweat and hope it was a nightmare.

[tymwol@hachyderm.io]

@maxleibman wait, but I only see an ad, not a website..?

[vonskinnback@mastodon.social]

@kDelta @nicolaottomano @maxleibman it's just capitalism playing malicious compliance games, so they can push the narrative that the EU are monsters trying to make your life worse...

[seindal@mastodon.uno]

@nicolaottomano

I use Koko Analytics with WordPress, and Koko can be used cookie-less.

Even if you let Koko set a cookie, it only lasts until midnight in the user's time zone, which hardly qualifies as tracking.

The real danger is leaking information by embedding foreign stuff on your site. I simply don't embed anything anywhere, which is not locally served.
