WTF is going on with their cookie dialog? Surely that's not even remotely legal? There is just agree and a second dialog with guidance on how to clear cookies per browser (???) and a second agree button.

That's not even an attempt at a dark pattern nudging you towards one option...it's just do you agree or do you agree.

Hard to trust companies that think that's how consent works...

Facebook's own dialogue is relatively similar – you do get one option for Facebook's own advertising tracking and another for every third-party function mushed together (no differentiation between functional, analytical, advertising, etc.), but in the end no matter what you choose there's still only one 'Accept cookies' button.

I mean, it needs at least a session cookie to keep track of your login, right?

"Essential Cookies" in EU don't need a prompt.

I can’t see how that is acceptable in EU. For example Max Schrems has this to say about these dark pattens: https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-aims-end-cookie-banner-terror-and-is...

He's doing great work for sure!

This comment is a huge distraction from the actual substance in the link.

>actual substance in the link.

And I'd be discussing said substance...if I could get to it without a gun-to-your-head consent

Is 'you can either consent or leave' GDPR-compliant?
