Huge accessibility wall here, too. You’re coercing by fatigue those that can’t quickly make the selections many of us can.
“If you just relinquish your privacy and press accept all, you can use our site 10 minutes quicker”
Why 10 minutes? I watched someone with mobility issues try to use some popular sites only to get caught out on the confirmation dialog and it made me want to put a rag in a bottle and march down to the site’s headquarters myself.
Yes, I’m aware of assistive tech that helps with this, but out of the box accessibility is a thing. Do it.
Pass it on.
Thanks for getting in touch about this yesterday. I thought I’d just quickly follow up.
As many of you have pointed out, some of these things are *technically* illegal in some places. Geographic location differences in those laws aside. What you’ll find is that there’s enough grey area for most people to wiggle out of any sort of legal mess they find themselves in.
Much of the reason that these websites and organisations don’t find themselves in hot water is because they pay for an off the shelf cookie compliance plug-in. Most of these are designed to work to the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law, and these *have* been run past legal teams.
