To the authors of the site, please know that your current "Cookiebot by Usercentrics" is old and pretty much illegal. You shouldn't need to click 5 times to "Reject all" if accepting all is one click. Newer versions have a "Deny" button.
- esskay 11mo agoWeirdly this site also requested bluetooth access on my mac.
- azalemeth 11mo agoThat would be the browser fingerprinting in action. I often get a lot of requests to use widevine on ddg's browser on android (which informs one about it) for I suspect similar reasons.
- esskay 11mo agoInteresting, I'm on Brave and have never had a site request bluetooth access before, so much so that I'd never even granted Brave bluetooth access, hence why it popped up as a system notification this time around.
- nic547 11mo agoDoesn't Brave disable WebBluetooth by default via a flag?
- sharken 11mo agoBrave indeed does block WebBluetooth by default, but it can be turned on by the user using flags. It's by no means a new feature, but the privacy concerns outlined in this post are still valid 10 years later: https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/w3c-web-bluetooth-api-privacy/ https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/w3c-web-bluetooth-api-privacy...
- 8cvor6j844qw_d6 11mo agoInteresting. Is this fingerprinting in action? I have Widevine disabled on Brave desktop (don't recall if this is default), occasionally I get Widevine permission request on some sites.
- anothernewdude 11mo agoOr you could just reject all third party cookies, see no sites break and enjoy your privacy.
- popcornricecake 11mo agoDoesn't spare you from having to interact with the popup. This is probably the single dumbest law to ever have been made. It wastes everyone's time, and not insignificantly. While the browser is and always was in full control of cookies, nobody checks whether the popup actually even does what it says. And since it's a waste of your time in the first place, who takes the time to report illegal ones, much less has any interest to do so, because where you saw it is where you will likely never visit again anyway. If anything browsers should be simply rejecting all cookies by default, and the user should only be whitelisting ones they need on the few sites where they need it.
- sebastiennight 11mo agoI don't think the lawmakers planned for the level of malicious compliance that would be deployed.
- nxpnsv 11mo agoSingle dumbest law ever made? I think that’s underestimating the stupidity of many laws.
- popcornricecake 11mo agoPossibly. I just can't think of other stupid ones that have a comparably wide impact.
- anothernewdude 11mo agoI didn't see a pop-up on the site at all.
- slig 11mo agoJust set up your browser to never even load that BS.
- Anduia 10mo agoI cannot audit and report GDPR violations if I do that.
