@tag @torgo seems like you're a little late to that party.

how about deprecating automatically accepting cookies and having them opt-in instead? GDPR says cookies should be consented to, but without browsers actually rejecting cookies by default, we invited this whole dark pattern garbage and websites that just refuse to load without LocalStorage.

GDPR says you need informed consent, and there are not that many people worldwide who understand cookie-based business models and data flows well enough to consent (I have been following this stuff for years and still am not informed enough to give informed consent for many/most of the cookies on a random site) Maybe the top posters on Reddit's r/adops and some privacy researchers know enough to consent if they chose to?

@dmarti i'm not sure what consclusion you try to draw from this.

should my ability to buy food depend on me understanding the entire supply chain, because else i could not "really consent" to it?

@sofia @tag @torgo consent is required for processing your personal info, most normal transactions don't have to have it
