    Agree this is bullshit, but at least there’s a Reject All button which is far more than we probably would have got prior to the introduction of GDPR.

    I went on a site the other day, and a massive popup appeared before I could do anything.

    “We Respect Your Privacy”

    1200+ “data partners”.

    Big blue “Accept” button.

    Yeah, no you don’t.

    It really does shock me, even though it should not at this point, that nearly all governments, even more progressive ones in terms of privacy, are absolutely just watching from the sidelines as the fabric of their own society is deteriorating. Bravo leaders. Bravo. /s

      I’ve been a software developer for nearly 25 years now, and I can tell you this.

      No cunt reads anything.

      Something pops up over the top of what they want, they’ll click OK.

      Being as I’m forced to use outlook for work… At least it’s just my work persona they are tracking and selling? That guy is wild.

      God can you imagine.

      768 collapsed areas for each one. You have to expand that area and click the small slider with a 3 second UI freeze each time you do.

      Then at the end when you click apply, you get a spinning wheel with “Applying your choices” that seems like it has timed out.
