Terminal Tilt

A privacy notice is not consent. Reading a multi-page document written by corporate lawyers just to find out how you're being tracked isn't "agreeing" to anything. It is a digital ransom note.

True consent is:

Granular: I choose exactly what you see.

Revocable: I can take it back at any time.

Opt-in: Off by default, always.

Stop confusing notifying us with asking us.

@terminaltilt @blogdiva they're not confusing notifying us with asking us. They're just counting on US to confuse those.

Tangential: I've all but given up on dodging the blasted #BindingArbitration notices.

Even "privacy-conscious" services like @ente and @phreeli have them!

For fork's sake!!!

Yes, for your sanity, it is best to pick your battles.

@terminaltilt GDPR cookie notifications are only required for cookies that are set automatically. Any cookies set as a result of user interaction (like logging in, adding things to a shipping cart,or setting preferences) do not require such notifications. What, therefore, could the mandatory "legitimate interest" cookies be for? As far as I'm concerned, the only interests that are legitimate are my own, and those would be set as a direct result of my own actions and, therefore, exempt from GDPR.
