    Anytime a website forces me to turn off my adblock, I leave it and block it so it doesn’t show up again. If you force such predatory tactics, I am not interested in your website, and I’d rather look for another one.

    Was raised in an age where where you needed firewalls, antiviruses, spam blocks and ad blocks, Ect to surf the web safety.

    Now companies are doing everything they can to make sure you disable all it to have the privilege of using their website.

    This site is better in The App! Download now?

    The App:

    A Chrome component, coupled to a straw to slurp all your data a browser cannot reach, and notifications coming out of your arse at 2am because they cannot fathom the idea of other countries existing.

    People living in EU. You guys are lucky. These cookie banners and stuff behave differently there because EU forces the reject all button

      That doesn’t seem to be true. A lot of German publishers do not allow you to proceed without giving consent to cookies and profiling for targeted advertising. They consider this legal because they offer you the alternative of “opting out” by signing up for a paid subscription.

      Every other website i visit has a different tactic of hiding their reject button.

      They will even give a second pop up leaving you unable to use the website in hopes of you clicking accept anyway.

        Consent-o-matic

        Install once, go to a website, wait a few seconds, ans it rejects all those 1273 “partners” for you, together with clicking every hidden “reject” button, so you don’t have to

      The EU does force the reject all button, however companies and websites often don’t care about the law; some newspaper in my country straight up ask for a subscription to let you have the privilege of disabling cookies on their ad-ridden dying websites, and many more don’t have a “reject all” button.

      I try to report some of them but who knows if it does something.

      Plus from personal experience; when you setup a GDPR button through Google, by default there is no “reject all” button. Or the equally mandatory “x” to close the popup, thus rejecting cookies. You need to tick a box to enable them.
