    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).

          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.

        Does California have any of these types of tech laws?

          Yes, it mandates a Do Not Sell My Personal Information toggle, as I understand it.

            Which usually requires an email address, in my experience, so it’s really only worth doing that if you already have an account at that site.

              I’ve never been asked for an email address. That sucks.
