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 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

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.

@mike @jokeyrhyme there were mentions/news last year, that things (regulation-wise) will be simplified - for end-users that is I'm not sure where/how that ended though.
Btw, I'm aware that's not the solution to malicious compliance, but Consent-o-matic add-on usually does the job well.
@gim @jokeyrhyme Consent-o-matic great so far as it goes, but it only handles a small subset of the sites I follow links to.
-
@mike
Yup, me too.
Also wtf is 'legitimate interest'?@pthane There is no such thing.
(Also: doesn't that mean they're admitting all the others are not legitimate?)
-
@mike
i admit too often im too curious and still do the extra clicks to get to the content and sometimes, which is also way too often, i also click „accept all“the most important fact:
„we care about privacy“ is a lie if it’s coming in a cookie banner.
who really cares about privacy can do real necessary cookies without additional banner.
who does it anyway deserves no click at all - not reject all, not extra preferences settings, and least accept all@lazyb0y Yes, quite!
-
@mike Same, but if I'm really interested and there's no easy way to reject all I open the page in an anonymous window.
@cvtsi2sd Yes, I do that, too. There is something satisfying about clicking Accept All in a new anonymous window, and imagining them thinking "Aha, new data!" little knowing it's all about to evaporate
-
@bitchboss @mike My worry with “Accept Only Necssary” is what counts as necessary to who?
@bjn @bitchboss Fair point. We all know what "necessary" ACTUALLY means, but that doesn't mean they're not maliciously interpreting it differently!

@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
@talexb The next step is to delete Facebook itself
