      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.

    whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.

    it would suck to individually reject those 797 “partners”.

    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.

    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.

        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?

    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.

    They spelled “violate” wrong.
