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 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
@digitalstefan Ugh, why would the UK do that?

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

@jamesthomson You and your 943 partners.

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 close tab works for me.

@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.

@jamesthomson
And I WILL uncheck all of them. -

@jamesthomson oh shit that reminds me, i need to add a "fuck cookies" to the footer on my website
-
@renardboy Look, maybe not an original thought, but it was annoying me!
@jamesthomson No I feel you, it's some sordid bullshit.
I seriously suspect that the "legitimate interest" cookies are enough for the data collectors to do all their nasty business. And then if you actually go through with unchecking those, this puts you in such an infinitesimally small user niche that they can (and do) track you that way all the same.

@jamesthomson probably something political and I try to not get into political discussions on social media because … well it’s a shitshow.

@jamesthomson some of the largest sites think they can absolve themselves of responsibility by outsourcing their (in my opinion) deception to OneTrust - awaiting the litigation

@jamesthomson the dark patterns seem, in my opinion only, deep in OneTrust’s blood, and other offenders of course. One general pattern: the moment you uncheck a box or click customize, suddenly “accept all“ appears, shifts, or enlarges.
Generally this kind is behavior leads me to believe those involved do not care about their less technical family members, friends, or neighbors. If they looked at their family trees they would have to circle many ancestors who would be abused by their creations.

@jamesthomson And technically illegal in the EU! It must be as easy to reject all as it is to accept all cookies.
