@benx@Ninji Ugh, oh right. Subscribe or accept all. Afaik it's not legal but then uh, I don't have the time and spoons to report all those sites to the local GDPR responsible (if I did, they'e very likely be fined but uh, well)
@benx@laura@Ninji it's interesting how different countries have different dark patterns. The pay for tracker free subscription seems to me is a German innovation (definitely a European Union thing, as it is based of a European court decision that they have to allow you to reject trackers... But they don't have to do so for free). The model I find even more evil is where you click on manage cookies and then you see the list where all trackers are per default off and you can say reject all, but they have a second tab "legitimate interest" where they are all on, which is not changed if you click reject all, and you have to individually object to every one of their 800 trackers. I think again it's illegal in EU, because if they actually have a legitimate interest they don't have to ask at all, if you can object and they still give you access that sort of proves they don't have a legitimate interest, but of course that will take another couple of years before courts decide.
