When they ask you about cookies and you can "accept all" in one click, but if you want to reject all that aren't strictly necessary you have to navigate to a different page
Yeah, this should be illegal. I predict California and/or the EU will get rid of it soonish (within the next 10 years maybe? not the most experienced forecaster).
It is IIRC. In the eu I think its mandatory that declining cookies is as easy as accepting.
Which is better but still sucks. The whole thing is flawed from the ground up: In order to remember you opted out of cookies, it is necessary to store a cookie in your browser. Cookies should be op-in but I think it's obvious this is not gonna happen
Pretty sure a cookie like that would fall under strictly necessary, so you're still allowed to save it without consent.
Protip: Use a VPN and connect to an EU country. You'll see more of the single "Reject All" buttons.
