And they can store a cookie with that info without requiring permission as it is essential to performing that action. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] neidu2@feddit.nl 15 points 2 years ago (2 children) I was actually not aware of that. Is there a way we can report them or force them into compliance somehow? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] ignirtoq@fedia.io 31 points 2 years ago (1 child) I thought this article was a good, brief discussion on cookie banners. The summary is that the EU didn't mandate cookie banners, just acquiring consent. And they forbid common dark patterns making the "no" option more difficult to submit. It's the tech industry that settled on the terrible banners, and many of them (most?) don't actually conform to the law's requirements. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] aasatru@kbin.earth 6 points 2 years ago A great thing about the banners is that it's not immediately obvious to everyone that websites are trying to track their every step online. The banners are annoying, but at least it pushes the tech industry to play with open cards. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Don_alForno@feddit.de 24 points 2 years ago* You can complain with your local data protection agency. Basically the law is that rejecting cookies must be exactly as easy as accepting them, so if there's an "accept all" button, there also has to be a "reject all" button right next to it, same size, same visibility. permalink fedilink source parent
