You do not need a banner, you need informed consent. I'm sure there are other ways of getting consent other than a half screen pop-up with a big red accept button on first visit, but they probably won't get 70% "opt in" rate.
- roenxi 2y agoLaw: The optimum behaviour is annoying banners. Companies: Annoying banners. Legislators: Mission Accomplished. A win for the good guys! Situation persists for at least a decade.
- ceejayoz 2y agoA more accurate version: Law: You have to get some form of affirmative consent if you want to do specific often-abused things. Companies: We'll do it in the most obnoxious way possible ("here are our 853 technology partners... no, there's not a 'deselect all' option, have fun clicking") so people blame the law instead of the industry that didn't want to allow consent at all.
- morsch 2y agoThere's always a deselect all option (or rather, the equivalent "accept only the technically required ones"), because it's required by law. Sometimes the operator tries to hide the option. That, too, is illegal.
- ceejayoz 2y agoThere is frequently not a "deselect all" option; there's a reason regulators keep having to warn about it. https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2023/11/commissioner-warns-uk-s-top-websites-to-make-cookie-changes/ https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs...
