One of my "favorite" things about cookie banners .. this blatant lie of a message:

"We value your privacy"

Nope, you don't .. you value selling my data and ads revenue. Of course you value those, because it's the primary job you were given: make money.

And that's okay.

Lying in my face with this message though, leaves a foul taste in my mouth. Every. Single. Time.

When I see this written, I like to take it quite literally. It means your privacy has a value, literally it is valuable to us. And thus we will monetise it. Why would we not, it has value, after all?
