Recently I've seen many sites put a "reject all" button in the same size and color as the "accept all" button, Stack Overflow for example. I thought some legislation must have changed somewhere.
Legislation hadn't changed, but some big company (Google?) realized EU was serious and they would get fined big time if they continued to pretend to not understand, and then a few more took the hint afterwards.
I thought the legislation always said something like "rejecting must take the same number of clicks as accepting" and the ones without a "reject all" just weren't in compliance.
And yet somehow they’ll remember my choice to accept while reasking every visit if I reject.
The legislation needs to be opt out by default with a non obtrusive request to opt in. These aren’t players in good faith so why indulge them in legislation.
