... We're gonna get another cookie click-through, aren't we?
Do you consent to our use of intrusive browser detection, anti-cheat, rootkit usage and invasive brain implants to bombard you with ads?
The cookie banner law should have specified the exact text that had to be displayed and it should have been really scary.
I think the law should require a button for enabling all non-marketing cookies.
The law already states that it must be as easy to deselect everything as it is to select all.
If they have a allow all button, they also need a allow only required button.
Well clearly many if not most sites are in violation of that part. Will be very interesting to see what, if anything, the EU are gonna do about that!
Personally I'm pessimisticly hopeful and yes that's a possible thing shut up ๐
Allow only essential doesn't include analytics cookies, allow all includes everything. They should either make it easy with maximum 3 checkboxes but you can still unfold them to precisely manage, or make a button to disable only marketing cookies.
Yeah, pretty much
