@ridge because they don't want to give up on their dark Patterns being so effective.

@ridge Because then they are less likely to get you to sell your soul!

wow this blowed up
i wish all transphobes did

@ridge they could. They choose not to. Remember that. Invasion of your privacy is a choice someone made.

@ridge meh not even show that, or better just don’t do cookies other than login (which TTBOMK needs no separate consent)

@ridge What website is that? :owi:

@ridge why can't all websites only use necessary cookies (in which case they wouldn't need any tracking or consent settings or banners or popups in the first place)

@ridge Skinflint.co.uk? (Geizhals.at)

😊👍

@ridge because InternetExplorer... they told us...

@ridge

I never thought that this would be a message I'd ever see :o

@ridge watch "necessary cookies" is just code word for "all cookies" because the argument can be made that advertizing cookies are "necessary" to their profits

@ridge "Do Not Track"-mode detected. You have been assigned to the privacy-aware technical user cohort. See FLoC in our Privacy Policy for more details.

@ridge

If they detect do-not-track mode then they shall not store any cookies at all
(unless I choose to log in to the site, which may require a session cookie) And no "local storage" either (that's just cookies by another name)

@ridge because DNT sadly is in shambles and apparently no longer a part of the HTTP standard :/

But! Reading the Wikipedia article on DNT, I learned about https://globalprivacycontrol.org

@ridge yeah instead of the "please turn off your ad blocker" nonsense. Yeah no f your site.

@ridge
NO ONE EVER WANTS ALL THE COOKIES. UNLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP.
@antranigv

@ridge That would be awkward right?

@ridge That modal dialog makes it an 8/10.

@ridge@tilde.zone By necessary cookies they mean the ones that are still privacy-intrusive.

@ridge geilzhals yess,
thats why its better than idealo!
(and geizhals is from an IT Company so yeah)

@ridge amazing. So the legends are true!

What website is this?

@ridge Wondering what their definition of "necessary cookies" is though.

@ridge genius

@ridge @Herover Ooooh that's what it's for

@ridge or rather have all websites default to "no cookies except logins"

@ridge @georgeeyong because there is no law saying that they have to do this.
