Mehrheit ist von Cookie-Bannern genervt

Die gesetzlich verpflichtenden Hinweise zu Datennutzung-Einstellungen auf Internetseiten werden von vielen Verbrauchern als nervig empfunden. Viele Verbraucher klicken die Cookies darum einfach ab, ohne die Hinweise zu lesen.

@tagesschau Sehr viele Firmen, Verlage bieten KEINE Möglichkeiten an, auf komplett zu verzichten bzw. hindern Nutzer bei Verweigerung von Werbe-Cookies am Lesen des jeweiligen Content!

Und dann kommt erschwerend hinzu, dass mach der Cookie-Wall noch die Paywall kommt.

Gut, man könnte natürlich auch direkt schreiben, dass man das Internet nicht verstanden hat und auf den Leser pfeift ... >;-)

I thought the cookie consent alerts were bad back in the states, but - WOW. If I lived here (visiting Europe), I would FAR rather have cookies just set and not be told about it vs. this level of in-your-face, at-every-turn COOKIE ALERT, without question. Oy.

One drawback of using an anti-tracking function and continuously deleting cookies is that when you donate to a free site you use, by the next session they have no idea it was you and are again asking for a donation.

Unless you sign in. But that defeats using an anti-tracking function.

The EDPS ("European Data Protection Supervisor") has released an open source tool called "Website Evidence Collector" that will collect evidence of personal data processing, such as cookies, or requests to third parties.

You can find more information about the "Website Evidence Collector" here: https://edps.europa.eu/edps-inspection-software_en

There's also a GitHub repository here:

Al final mi método principal para luchar contra las será no luchar contra las cookies. Me explico:
permite crear contenedores (clic derecho sobre el botón de nueva pestaña), un sistema de apertura de páginas en entornos diferenciados donde sus cookies no interactúan con las de los otros contenedores.
Si además instalamos esta extensión adicional, puedes forzar que dicha página se abra siempre en el contenedor de tu elección.

"So Google just switched off third-party tracking for 30 Million Chrome users - that's a good thing, right?"

– "Well, child, get some snacks, make yourself comfortable and let me tell you the story of how this will affect you, me, and all of humanity..."

Two panels from my comic "Contra Chrome - how Google's browser became a threat to privacy and democracy." In the first, you see a large fish among many smaller ones. It look part like a piranha, part like the logo of the Chome browser - and it looks like it has eaten a lot! In a speech bubble, there a "BURP!" sound, and the caption above reads: "This is much more about Google blocking its data-harvesting competitors in order to amass even more market power in its own hands. In the second panel, the narrator of the comic goes on to say: "By the way, most other browsers have been blocking third-party cookies for a long time without replacing this surveillance technology with another one. "And yet, it will become a global standard the moment it is rolled out with Chrome".

    In the kind of person who takes the time to reject on all websites that I visit, and it’s pretty usual to find websites using 600+ “partners” with whom they share my data. But I think I found a new one for my top ten in thegamer.com, with a ridiculous 1498 companies they share my data with.

    When you open the popup to reject the cookies, most of them are disabled by default, but they keep around 40 or 50 enabled under the pretense of “legitimate interests”.
    I mean, isn’t their whole business to collect data to target advertisement? They might consider “legitimate” to collect as much as they can.

    Today I filed a formal complaint against with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of detection technologies.

    Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.

    In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

    You can help by filing your own complaint here:

    https://forms.dataprotection.ie/contact

    The more complaints the DPC receives - the quicker they will act.

    You can use my complaint to help write your own (attached).

    A ver, idea para desarrolladores. Una extensión de navegador (para Safari, para Firefox... y para navegadores de ordenador y móviles) que automáticamente rechace todas las cookies sin que tengas que ir dando tu "rechazo" cada vez que abres una nueva web. Lo veo.
