Over the last few weeks I have noticed a behaviour in myself.
If I follow a link and I get a "We care about your privacy" popup, I click the "Reject all" button and read the article.
But if there is no "Reject all" button, just a link to a complicated set of preferences, I simply close the window and never see what the article had to say.
I wonder how many others do this.
And how many web-sites are losing A LOT of their traffic for this reason.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!I will not view a site if reject all isnโt available

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike More or less, I'm not religious about it, but yes, I'm also noticing a strong "I don't bother attitude".

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike The worst slimy pattern is doing this with a complicated preferences panel that, when you finally click "save preferences", puts up a box saying there was an error saving preferences and kicks you back to the start. Instant nope. Breaking law, attempting plausible deniability, exploiting sunk cost fallacy.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike I definitely do this (but I also go down their stupid UI-nightmare rabbit hole to see if I have options first, and usually itโs buried in there somewhere).

i admit too often im too curious and still do the extra clicks to get to the content and sometimes, which is also way too often, i also click โaccept allโthe most important fact:
โwe care about privacyโ is a lie if itโs coming in a cookie banner.
who really cares about privacy can do real necessary cookies without additional banner.
who does it anyway deserves no click at all - not reject all, not extra preferences settings, and least accept all -

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike Same, but if I'm really interested and there's no easy way to reject all I open the page in an anonymous window.

@gim @mike @jokeyrhyme That's another try to be US-Bigtech friendly by the politicians/EU commission.
The problem the runway for that is getting shorter and shorter. The last time (In the never ending Schrems Saga) the ECJ bound the GDPR privacy rights literally directly to the Charter, so bending the GDPR to weaken privacy literally would require EU Treaty changes.
So the whole thing the EU Commission is planning stands on wooden feet, but it will buy the "IT industry" a couple of months/years. -

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike Yes indeed! but I fear we are a minority. Fediverse-based sample group probably a bit biased.

Relatedly I have been getting completely blocked pages because I use an ad blocker and am redirected to a page that says I need to allow them to serve content I donโt want. I donโt follow that either. -

@jokeyrhyme @mike EU should've made adherence to Do Not Track mandatory.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike I could be mistaken but I think if you have 3rd party (cross site) cookies blocked in your browser settings it doesn't matter what cookies they try to set.

If it's something I feel like I "need" to read then I open it in Duck and burn after reading. Don't know if it's ideal but makes me feel better at least.
I'd honestly prefer them to say "we're tracking you and sharing your data to make money" than read "we care about your privacy" one more time.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!That's exactly what I do. I'm not going to jump through hoops. There's no article worth all that, and there's always somebody else who wrote about that topic.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike yep, I do this too, the content on a webpage needs to be very darn unique for me to take the trouble to do more than 3 clicks to refuse the cookies. I haven't actually missed anything important in my life since doing this for about the past 5 years
