    . * here’s how they are supposed to work

    The joy of selecting cookie preferences on every single website never gets old…

    Edit. And we have our first winner

    Zalando, a German online fashion retailer, has filed a legal challenge over its inclusion on the DSA’s list of the largest online platforms, arguing that it’s being treated unfairly

    Nevertheless, Zalando is launching content flagging systems for its website even though there’s little risk of illegal material showing up among its highly curated collection of clothes, bags and shoes

      Use consent-o-matic.

      You choose the level you want, so for me I don’t want anything but the required cookies. Now when I visit a webpage, after a few milliseconds consent-o-matic will automatically handle it for me, in a minimised state too.

      Like this screen recording i made the first couple sites didn’t pop up as I mmust have been there before but on the telegraph you can see it work.

        Why isn’t this just built into the browsers? Why can’t I make a universal setting to reject all unnecessary cookies and have websites recognize that instead of asking me every time? They way this is implemented is asinine.

      It will be an interesting test case for sure, whether the EU is willing to take down X/Twitter/whatever if they don’t comply. Or if they offer up some half-assed compliance, as per Elon Musk’s signature passive aggressive style.

      If the EU doesn’t react forcefully to that, these regulations will be as good as dead, because why should anyone else comply if Elon gets a free pass?
