Not if they don’t track you. As far as I understand the fabled cookie law, you only need to have that notice if you’re using cookies in a way that’s not strictly necessary for the site’s functionality.
Yeah. That’s standard asshat practice now I feel like. There needs to be a GDRP2 that specifies these settings can only pop up if standardized user defaults saved within the browser settings are not present. It’s gotten way out of control.
I’m not a 100% on this, but from what i remember, this is technically also not allowed. Something about refusing has to be just as easy as accepting. What is unfortunately not regulated (i’d assume, since nobody does it) is a refuse all option for legitimate interest, so they can give you an option to opt out of all cookies but leave all the legitimate interest options on and you have to turn them off one by one. Worst part is you might not even see that they’re on if you just say refuse all instead of going to the settings
Tbh this is the reason I’m just using Firefox focus as default browser. Sure you can install your shit cookies, I’ll wipe them off after I’m done with your site
Don’t they legally have to have gdpr options?

Only if they use cookies which frankly…why the fuck would they need to?
They do but lots of places make it a major hassle to set preferences. Like having “accept all” but rejecting has to be done one by one.
