And what can we do to make the Internet a more safe and privacy friendly place and replace the ad business by something less unpleasant ?
We care about your privacy which is why we are sharing your date with almost 1000 services 998 of which are fully redundant and only 1 is actually needed for the service we provide
lmao I love when they say “we care about your privacy” then they go on to say exactly how much data they’re gonna collect and process
Well, technically they do care about your privacy if your privacy is annoying to them and they wish it was gone.
We care about your privacy! We can get a buck or two for it.
I would actually respect it if they were honest in one of these.

LEGITIMATE INTEREST!!
Legitimate interests don’t require a banner. The simple fact you see a banner means their lawyers know they couldn’t convince the dumbest judge that they actually need that stuff.
I think this bullshit is my personal record:
1609 baby!
And we have a winner woohoo !
1200ish is my personal best can’t remember what site it was on.
As to what we can do not really a clue on a grand scale,i just block ads and cookies fanatically.
I had high 700s, where even 1 is more than I can stomach. Thank devs for uBlock Origin.
“Hey dude, we were going to hang out on Sunday. We were planning just us, but can I bring 651 friends along?”
This is more like “Can my 651 friends snoop on our party?”

To Raymond Hill, we owe SO MUCH.
And the list maintainers of course! (Who often accept donations whereas gorhill has always refused even a penny!)
we cure about your privacy, It’s very valuable for us, so please, all your data are belong to us
I think I saw 1500 this week somewhere…
All I want to know is, how can it be profitable to be an ad broker at that point?
The F1 site was at 1200 last time I checked
458 from California just now
In “Manage”, shows 437 “User Consent” Site Vendors and 71 “Legitimate Interest” Site Vendors.
It doesn’t even say they care about your privacy, they aren’t even trying to hide it.
First thing I thought of when I saw this post.
It’s the worst site. Every time I need to scroll all the way to the bottom to click Accept. It’s like they made it that way on purpose.

Consent-o-matic is also an option it will specifically opt out of those data vacuum popups. It is run by a Danish Uni so if it doesn’t work with a site you can submit the site and they will patch it in.

Link?
Good point. I updated my comment with the FF and chrome plugin links.
Thank you
I’ve seen 1600+ myself.
I think i would legitimately just leave the site and block it at my pihole if i saw that
Sure. I’m a fanatical ad-blocker myself, but sometimes using Tor browser with the defaults.
I ususally have them blocked, but on some news site I remember seeing 750+ and off it wanted you to manually unchecked all of them one by one.
Whenever I see a cookie banner say something like “We respect your privacy” I chuckle.
Because if they would actually respect my privacy, they wouldn’t have had a banner in the first place.
I think I recently saw ~840 somewhere.
To replace the current big tech business, I have a few suggestions:
- Use FOSS (Free and open source software)
- If this is not possible, try to find software that does not invade your privacy and made by a smaller company
- Try to avoid paying privacy invading companies. I’m not saying never pay for proprietary software, but try to only spend the money on ones that respect you.
- Spread the word about good FOSS apps
- Donate to FOSS
- Vote for politicians who are serious about antitrust
- If you have the skills, contribute to FOSS or make your own software!
- Use adblockers on websites that don’t respect you and/or your privacy
How I feel looking at the number of “partners.”
Free buffet?
Silver lining: there would be no need to get STD tested because you will for sure know that you have all of them lol.
