Welcome to the EU web:
@gruber These cookie prompts ruined the web.
@simonbs So true. And you almost never see anything like them in an app (and when you do, it’s usually a sign that you should delete the app).
@gruber @simonbs iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompts seem similar (though certainly less verbose)? I don’t think we’ll all be deleting the Threads app when it shows up there. We will just tap “Ask App Not to Track” and continue using the app, happy that the platform gave us the option.
@globex Kurt, so you’re saying you leave this setting enabled, so some apps can ask to track you?
@AdamAdam Yeah, I leave it on to see which apps ask.
@AdamAdam I kinda forgot there was the single-toggle-never-ask-me option.
