What's the largest number of "trusted partners" you've seen in a cookie consent pop-up?

@Edent more importantly, WTF is ‘legitimate interest’?

Like, at the most basic level, shouldn’t all requests for data be based ok a ‘legitimate interest’?

And maybe they should, but 'consent' is another legal basis for data collection, which is why bad sites make consent easy and refusal clunky.

@mjr @Edent I know there’s a technical definition. But Jesus, just stop it already. No one wants that shit.

When a lawyer asked why one of my sites had no cookie notice, and I simply told her there were no cookies, she actively disbelieved me.

@ttmevans @Edent legal definition. Don't blame the technicians for this one !

And that lawyer's comment is a sad indictment of how bad things are now.

@mjr @Edent TBF, I don’t see what most people actually get from the cookie world. Ad revenues are near nothing unless you’re very popular. We used a bit of Plausible code to measure basic stuff, and frankly it was more than enough analytics.

And the kicker? Our (modest) social media spend had zero impact. But our (again, modest) traditional marketing, including print, was very effective.

Maybe it was different before, but it’s all enshittified to the extreme now.

@Edent 977 just yesterday. I’m in. Sounds lots more fun than collecting postal stamps.
