WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY!*
*no we don’t. not even a little.
No, I think they’re being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.
- We value your privacy (in a twisted way)
- Our company’s value (increases with access to) your privacy
Or the idea of the title and text was to create a paradox like: The following statement is true. // The preceding statement is false.
We value your privacy. We’re selling it.

797 partners? Might need to get tested haha
whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.
it would suck to individually reject those 797 “partners”.
This button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
this could be its own twilight zone episode
fuck
Recently a pirate website for music, free-mp3-download.net got updated with this crap included. You have to toggle it off every time. All vendors separately. I took a stopwatch, it takes me around 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
Sounds friendly.To be fair, free-mp3-download.net is not a URL I would voluntarily go to. I mean seriously…
I don’t judge by domain names.
It’s also listed in the top 2 at FMHY: https://fmhy.net/audiopiracyguide#download-sites
And best site at DB0 megathread (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com): https://rentry.co/megathread-music#free-mp3-download
Give me your wallet! Can’t refuse, I have a legitimate interest
I hate this. There is nothing legitimate about it. It’s one of the biggest insults anyone ever gave me.
Or just handle “legitimate interest” (i.e. page works) client side.
Doesn’t Ghostery do that for us?
I checked Ghostery just this morning and user reviews claimed they sell your data as well.
Thanks, I’ll look into that!!!
There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can’t get an “informed consent” from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.
Europe for sure. USA? Better chance of the president smoking rock at the state of the union. Land of the fee and all that.
I respect that you want it to be a small birthday party.
Me and my 718 closest friends will be there…
“We respect your privacy to the extent the law requires us to. Maybe.”
Anything ran by Microsoft is a privacy concern (includes Windows, Teams, npm, GitHub)
npm?! Since when?
Looks like early last year. News to me, too
Yup. It’s privately held, not a community or non-profit-held registry.
“We value your privacy”. Proceeds to not value any kind of privacy at all
“We valuated your privacy”, more like
They do value your privacy very expensively!
What’s worse is when it’s accept all or manage preferences, and you manually have to turn off cookies for all 718 partners individually, every time you open the app.
Consent-o-matic automates that for you
So does uninstalling and not using it
Not for apps.
At least they are (forced to be) honest ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like the rest of the wording, too. They’d like to process arbitrary data from the device. And third parties act out of their own motivation as long as it is their legitimate interest…
Use ‘REJECT ALL’.
REJECT ALL button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but you will find notice that some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
Hehe, keep up spreading that important info 💪✌️. Most people aren’t aware and this practice should be illegal. Reject ALL… Every word they say is just a fucking lie.
That’s why I reject all in Firefox settings along with wiping everything at close
I guess ‘Reject All’ means just ‘reject all of the above’, and there are are additional terms that are binding, they just spared you from handling those with this popup, or why is that kind of thing legal?
They do infact value your privacy. Only to them it is of low value
They spelled “violate” wrong.
