Over the last few weeks I have noticed a behaviour in myself.
If I follow a link and I get a "We care about your privacy" popup, I click the "Reject all" button and read the article.
But if there is no "Reject all" button, just a link to a complicated set of preferences, I simply close the window and never see what the article had to say.
I wonder how many others do this.
And how many web-sites are losing A LOT of their traffic for this reason.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike I give it another chance via archive.is link. Otherwise, I don't bother with the article

@jokeyrhyme @mike EU should've made adherence to Do Not Track mandatory.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike I could be mistaken but I think if you have 3rd party (cross site) cookies blocked in your browser settings it doesn't matter what cookies they try to set.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike I do this too.
If it's something I feel like I "need" to read then I open it in Duck and burn after reading. Don't know if it's ideal but makes me feel better at least.
I'd honestly prefer them to say "we're tracking you and sharing your data to make money" than read "we care about your privacy" one more time.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike Almost the same, I’ll spend a second or two hunting for the “reject all” button in case they’ve hidden it somewhere on the page. If I really really need to read the thing and I can’t find a reject all, or have to disable 7000 different “trusted” associates one by one, I’ll open it in a different brower’s icognito window.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!That's exactly what I do. I'm not going to jump through hoops. There's no article worth all that, and there's always somebody else who wrote about that topic.

Yes. If there is no button labelled ‘Reject All’ or ‘Accept Only Necessary,’ then it's goodbye.
@bitchboss @mike My worry with “Accept Only Necssary” is what counts as necessary to who?

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike yep, I do this too, the content on a webpage needs to be very darn unique for me to take the trouble to do more than 3 clicks to refuse the cookies. I haven't actually missed anything important in my life since doing this for about the past 5 years

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike The farthest I go in the absence of "reject all" is click "preferences" and let the browser search for it "after the break", but if it's not there either, the tab is ultimately doomed. @koehntopp

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike Yes! Opebned Facebook and saw a couple of interesting pages. Each one led to that kind of website. Closed the tab, deleted the ad from my feed. #GetRidOfTheJunk

I was picking and choosing which sites I'd continue with if they had this kind of opt in arrangement.
Now I think I'll just bipass them all. -

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike I do this. Not as a pattern I later understood but as a fully conscious and weighted decision. Statistic from mastodon won't give any hint about how many traffic the website looses, though.
