People living in EU. You guys are lucky. These cookie banners and stuff behave differently there because EU forces the reject all button
Every other website i visit has a different tactic of hiding their reject button.
They will even give a second pop up leaving you unable to use the website in hopes of you clicking accept anyway.
Yep, unfortunately if the reject all button is too annoying to find I just close the tab.
I tend to do the same, also for those websites that come with a secondary pop up.
Makes me feel like they really don't give a fuck, so why should i then and it's easy to click back and try the next website in the rows of results.
The weirdest one i found was a couple days ago and i kinda give them props for it, as it made me go: "woooow almost had me."
They had this whole standard wall of text with reasons to get you to accept and i didn't see thr reject all button. It was a fairly lenghty wall too so i started scanning it for recognizeable words until my eyes passed: "reject" in the text. It was regular looking text but clickable.

Install once, go to a website, wait a few seconds, ans it rejects all those 1273 "partners" for you, together with clicking every hidden "reject" button, so you don't have to
The EU does definitely not have an easy reject all button..it's always a minefield to work out how to disable them. Most take over 30-60 seconds to find out how to disable everything
This can help on a lot of websites: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/
That doesn't seem to be true. A lot of German publishers do not allow you to proceed without giving consent to cookies and profiling for targeted advertising. They consider this legal because they offer you the alternative of "opting out" by signing up for a paid subscription.
Not in my experience. The reject all button is usually hidden behind the review your choices button. It's fucking bullshit. Accept all is always visible tho.
If I block cookie banners, does that mean I reject cookies because I didn't consent? Because if that's the case, I'm gonna just start blocking them.
The EU does force the reject all button, however companies and websites often don't care about the law; some newspaper in my country straight up ask for a subscription to let you have the privilege of disabling cookies on their ad-ridden dying websites, and many more don't have a "reject all" button.
I try to report some of them but who knows if it does something.
Plus from personal experience; when you setup a GDPR button through Google, by default there is no "reject all" button. Or the equally mandatory "x" to close the popup, thus rejecting cookies. You need to tick a box to enable them.
How do you report them?
I report them locally to the Privacy Guarantor(Italy) but I believe this is the EU's page on the topic: https://edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our-role-supervisor/complaints_en
Consent-o-matic addon for browser helps a lot to auto-reject cookies. Do recommend!
Ah, I didn't know this one. Will definitely check. Thanks a lot!
