The cookies being pre selected is illegal in the EU. Although I've seen sites that don't care and still enable them by default

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

The ones I've seen disable the 'consent' bits by default, but then there's 'vendor preferences' where 'legitimate interest' is automatically ON in 58 places (I'm not exaggerating; I have counted it) and you have to manually off all of them.

When you click the question mark at 'legitimate interest', all it says is some vendors are not asking for your consent to use your data but collect it based on their legitimate interest.

It's infinitely vague and it has the vibe of 'I'm not going to ask for it, I will just take it and I will use it for whatever I want anyway'.

Here in Spain they started making the option to either subscribe.... Or accept the ads/tracking.....

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

Same in germany. That makes the whole thing even more useless, as everyone just is a subscription-based shit now....

Yeah I see it seems it applies other places.

I would be ok with it honestly if they like allowed to select sites but they did this "content pass", https://www.contentpass.net/en , which englobe a lot of sites and lot of them I don't want them to see a single penny from me because they are shit. If they fix that and I can pick and change it along the way am all in on it.

Just use reader mode, it bypasses all that shit.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Oh I am sure there are ways to bypass it. Just saying what they do.

Same with a lot of news outlets in Germany. Although it's not that difficult for me to use only sites that allow disallowing every cookie or just bypass the cookie popup
