Just like those "we value your privacy" cookie banners that don't give you the option to reject all. If they truly valued my privacy, they would give me that option instead of having me toggle off 500000 "partners" one by one in the hopes I accidentally skip one. Bastards.
I just decide that any site doing that doesn't really have anything meaningful to provide and has mostly copy-pasted content from actual resource-providing websites, with added SEO.
So I just close the site most of the time.
So far it has paid off. I tend to find more sites that give information that was actually written by someone knowledgable about the field.
Thinking I should start making my own list, considering search engines are probably never going to make those easier to find.
Those aren't compliant. The reject all needs to be as prominent as the accept all option without any additional clicks. So many sites get it wrong it's insane!
It is honestly disgusting when they list the number of parties, especially when you see 100+ vendors on the "Legitimate purpose" toggle. Fuck off you have a legitimate purpose to my browsing.
I mean, I can imagine that. I'm sure they know the exact market value of every behavioral data point they can extract from me and the negative impact my desire for privacy has on that value.
I know this bathroom, they have the stalls, you sit down and your head peeks over the top of the walls. I guess they expected everyone to be very short? I'm not even six foot so I don't know. I think of it as the social shitter.
There's public washrooms like this in a mall in Seattle, or at least there was a few years back. Half height stalls. When one is sitting the walls only come up to your elbows. One of the most bizarre setups for a public bathroom I've seen in my travels.
I tend to always read these, both when I sign up and when there are changes. Idk if I ever felt that it changed significantly at all from what I expected originally. They are "updated" annually and when a new law passes so usually it is no change or something about the new law. Basically usually if you consented to the original privacy policy, updates are unlikely to have anything surprising and new to change your mind. I guess unless it went from none to some/a lot of shared data!
