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!@mike If consentomatic can't deal with it, I use reader mode, and if that can't I close the tab.

@mike @jokeyrhyme there were mentions/news last year, that things (regulation-wise) will be simplified - for end-users that is I'm not sure where/how that ended though.
Btw, I'm aware that's not the solution to malicious compliance, but Consent-o-matic add-on usually does the job well.
@gim @jokeyrhyme Consent-o-matic great so far as it goes, but it only handles a small subset of the sites I follow links to.

@mike
Yup, me too.
Also wtf is 'legitimate interest'?@pthane There is no such thing.
(Also: doesn't that mean they're admitting all the others are not legitimate?)
-
@mike
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 „accept all“the most important fact:
„we care about privacy“ is a lie if it’s 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@lazyb0y Yes, quite!
-
@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.
@cvtsi2sd Yes, I do that, too. There is something satisfying about clicking Accept All in a new anonymous window, and imagining them thinking "Aha, new data!" little knowing it's all about to evaporate
-
@bitchboss @mike My worry with “Accept Only Necssary” is what counts as necessary to who?
@bjn @bitchboss Fair point. We all know what "necessary" ACTUALLY means, but that doesn't mean they're not maliciously interpreting it differently!
-
@mike Yes! Opebned Facebook and saw a couple of interesting pages. Each one led to that kind of website. Closed the tab, deleted the ad from my feed. #GetRidOfTheJunk
@talexb The next step is to delete Facebook itself

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike Similar, I just flip to reader mode if there's any popup, I won't interact with it at all. If there's no reader mode I close the tab.

I copy the link of the article and look it up via archive.ph ... only for some sites it doesn't work (especially French newspapers...) -

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!"We and our 8,647 business partners care about your privacy" -- oh like hell you do!
Yeah, no "reject all", no readie.
Sometimes, if I feel patient enough and I think I want to read whatever is behind the wizard of oz curtain, I'll run the url through a paywall scrubber; but, even then, I often have to wait in a queue for that to be processed.
Then it suuuucks when I do that and wait all that time and then the article is simply clickbait trash with a bunch of Twitter links. Ugh.

And who says that everything is “legally” adjusted when you disable all options except for the one option “Accept only necessary”? I want to click through to the desired page as quickly as possible, not play ping pong by turning 25 options on or off. The cookie cleaner does the rest when a third-party cookie comes along, which means that for me, there is virtually no reason to be paranoid, and when I close the browser, the cookies and tracker pixies in the cache are completely gone.

UPDATE: see replies, lots of people do this!@mike Likewise, likewise.
Getting increasingly allergic to cookies, and just turning away if/when I don't like the presented options. Which happens quite a lot now.
