The main problem with GDPR is that it didn't make mandatory to have a "REJECT ALL" button on the first page which means that Accept All is always easier!

But it did. The law clearly states that rejecting all cookies has to be just as easy as accepting all cookies.

The law prevents websites from checking every boxes by default. Which leads generally (at least in my country) to 2 "accept" buttons: - Accept all: it automates the checking of all boxes and validates - Accept the current selection: it is equivalent to "Reject All" Of course, guess which one is the big highlithed button and which one is the the small almost unreadable button :p

The problem is that if you are so keen on rejecting cookies, your only option is to leave the page. Sure there are tracking cookies used for ads and other things, but most cookies just hold some small state to make the website function properly. It need to know who you are logged in as for example, that is usually stored in cookies. So reject all would just lead to a page telling you to go away.

It'd be a good idea to find and/or set up some sort of a "cookie _declutterer"_ extension for browsers that can make it better to both understand what is being stored in the cookies, edit it on the fly, see what people think of it, etc. That way, even if a website decides to give you a cookie that you don't know, you can easily learn about it, and if you don't want it, to remove without going through weird places. Also, so when you reject cookies, they don't make you go through loops every time you go there because they don't store it and make you reject them again.

The EU needs to be harder on sites, forcing them to make it straightforward to opt out.

@gioprox5207 3 жыл бұрын

I don't think it would've cost the EU too much to at least make every website have an easy way to opt out of tracking by force

Are there any upsides accepting the cookies at all?🤷 Edit: serious question

@biplabkumarghosh6300 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you allow the advertisement networks to run a profitable business. Thus the society can get free-to-use self-sufficient websites like KZfaq. The alternative would be, if your friend sends you a link for a video, you have pay that site, say, $50/month, even if you just need to use it for 1 minute. The current advertisement based monetization services, allow even small new websites, to get money showing you advertisements. If society shifts to a monthly subscription-based website, most people would only subscribe to big companies, who generate a lot of content. Not many would subscribe to a small website having a fraction of the content

Some are used for logins or customization like configurations on a website. (There are over options, but cookies is one solution for this)

@@biplabkumarghosh6300 well, "free-to-use" in terms of not paying with money, you still pay the price of your privacy, giving these convoluted networks all sorts of private data, that may just be used, to give you a more individual advertisement on the next ad banner, but combining these fragments of your day-to-day internet use, can also be used, to construct group targeted adds with a very certain, but on first sight not visible intend, nudging targeted people into a certainer frame of mind or towards a specific opinion regarding a certain topic for example While not completely the same, that whole mess with the Facebook - Cambridge Analytica data scandal some years back, always comes to my mind, and that's just one instant, that got uncovered and heavily discussed... Sure, all those "free" services are great, but there surely are less egregious as well as consumer friendlier ways, of making a profit. These massive collections of personal data can be a very powerful tool, that I wouldn't trust people who intend to make money off of it, with.

If you do not accept cookies from KZfaq, you have to sign in again everytime you visit KZfaq, every picture, thumbnail etc have to be redownloaded and for example, if you turn on or off subtitles, this option gets saved in the cookie file. Hopefully this informed you enough

GDPR is a HUGE success. Honestly. The cookie settings are just one tiny bit (but most annoying) of the bigger picture. All the major stuff needed to be done: data location, right to be forgotten, report of personal data usage, structures of software to support all of these, etc.. This GDPR is just one of the excellent stuff EU has brought to the people. EU has the most people&planet friendly regulations up to date.
