In europe we have a "reject all" button for cookies and it's fantastic

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 29 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Except on news websites that only give you the choice between "subscribe for X€" and "read for free (accept all)". So annoying. Still no idea why that's legal.

[–] Doxin@yiffit.net 37 points 9 months ago

That's not at all legal under GDPR. Nor is having deny all be harder than accept. As is tradition however companies don't give half a shit until fines start happening.

[–] finn_der_mensch@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because newspapers are not forced to give out their news for free. But they have to give you an alternative to selling your data; taking money from you in this case.

[–] far_university1990@feddit.de 8 points 9 months ago

Which is illegal under GDPR btw. See instagram being sued for „pay or get tracked“ on their app.

[–] far_university1990@feddit.de 9 points 9 months ago

Still no idea why that's legal.

It is not

Use I STILL don't care about cookies. That one is owned by Avast nowadays and accepts all cookies which is clearly not what people want.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

thanks, changed it.

[–] Pesopes@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

I personally use the community version as well because I don't trust avast but is there any evidence they are actually doing this?

[–] Usernamealreadyinuse@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (3 children)

To my understanding, by using this you accept (all) the cookies... I would like a extension that tries to minimize cookie exposure!

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do). It doesn't delete cookies.

You're sort of right. Cookie deletion should be available in browser settings right?

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

In some browsers, such as duck duck go, that's indeed available and customizable per site. There is also Auto Cookie Delete extension on Firefox and Chrome that you can use.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

https://www.ghostery.com/

Ghostery will automatically decline all tracking pop ups, block cookies, website trackers, etc.

I’ve been using it for a while and love it.

[–] Usernamealreadyinuse@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks!! Going to try it!

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

IIRC that add-on was bought by Avast and the new add-on is 'I still don't care about cookies'

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Holy fuck, that is so disgusting. I was gonna ask why that's even legal but I've learned not to ask such stupid, logical questions. Thanks for the tip!

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

thanks, changed it.

[–] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Or you can enable "Annoyances" filters in uBlock Origin for the same effect

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

I used to use Ghostery but removed it and now just use these two filters in uBlock. They're not perfect but certainly better than not using them at all.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Also interesting; I didn't realise I hadn't turned those on. thanks!

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There seems to be a lot of options. Which ones do I pick? :/

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just turn it all on until something breaks!

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can't tell: are you joking or serious?

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I see. I'll try it then. Thanks. :)

[–] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

No, we don't. I had to do this manually, more than once.

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 9 points 9 months ago

Yep, you can "reject all" if you're lucky. Then you just have to go through the list anyway and untick all "legitimate interest" to spy on you.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago

See I want to be able to set that once, in my browser, and then have all of these things fuck off.

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Since I started using a VPN, I've started seeing that option more. Even still, lots of sites aren't compliant.
