Feel similarly. And to be honest, even when I do select decline all, I have little confidence that the function does what it says it does.

Yes, I do not have a lot of faith that "essential" cookies are always "essential" for example.

[sudoshred]

Essential is contextually defined by whoever implemented the that part of the front-end basically.

Certainly advertising is essential to the business model.

Firefox has a setting to dump cookies on exit, which I use.

[pocksuppet]

And there's Firefox Klar on Android. It forgets everything on exit. Some people call it a porn browser, but I've gotten used to it for general use when I don't need to log in somewhere.

[prmoustache]

For those that wonder, Klar is Firefox Focus with telemtry disabled by default. It is available on german speaking countries due to trademark avoidance with the Focus magazine.

This is how we should view all information we get from a company. If the product say organic, claim to be pure ingredients, recycled material, made in "COUNTRY", or any other claim, it is only just that. It is simply a claim that you as the customer has no way to verify.

[gzread]

That's why we fine companies that make false claims, and if they keep doing it, we shut down the company and imprison the people in charge.

Having seen how these things are implemented in the field, your lack of confidence is definitely well placed. Most of these things send your denial request to /dev/null

When you decline, their tracking becomes illegal, so they are constantly in danger of a legal action. It's a good enough reason to declime for me.
