Whenever I see a website ask
1. Accept all cookies
2. Customize selection

I can see what they're really saying...

1. Accept! and I'll fuck off out of your way and let you read.

2. So you wanna read the content heh? Step into our office. Ok then, lets go through them one-by-one and you can explain to me why you think you don't need that cookie. and then MAYBE we'll fuck off our of your face so you can read the scant few lines of text standing between you and finishing your homework/job/whatever.

    @retoor the trick not to be tracked is to have multiple raspberry pi with crypto-paid e-sims and a couple of solar panel in random places.

    @retoor maybe you can create a service where people watch ads for free.

    @retoor maybe you can trick them into clicking a button and then you can legally sell their friends and organs on the darknet.

    @retoor did you know some church organs were so loud at a specific spot in the air they could kill a person.

    This is the best on point explanation of cookie banners!

    There should be a third option:
    "Disable all (and fuck off)"

    Or even better, this should be a browser feature (like the dialog that asks if you want notifications from that site)

    No need to fucking reinvent the wheel for every single website. And it would prevent those scumbags from implementing dark patterns like this "customize cookies" crap.

    @retoor it would solve so many problems…

    For example, the user could configure the browser to always pick a specific option automatically, so you wouldn‘t even see a cookie banner covering half of the screen.

    And the devs wouldn‘t need to spend time and effort to implement their banner.
    Devs also wouldn‘t need to take the risk of implementing it incorrectly, or would not have the possibility to do it on purpose.
