Actually the EU laws about "user friendliness" are extremely strict and clear. There MUST be a "accept all" and a "deny all" button equally visible and easy to access, as well as an advanced button that leads to a STRUCTURED and easy to understand selection bit where you can act on individual purposes and on individual "vendors".
That's it.
99% of sites are NOT compliant, including many public administration and government sites. But the rules do exist and are clear.
All the "legitimate interest" stuff has been thrown in the mud several times by the European court, btw, so any site that displays something along those lines is most probably not compliant, too.
The point is. IT doesn´t always. some are very tricky by Placing the "accept all" in a clear visible color and "Reject All" if often easy to miss or placed at a point that you accidentally click on "Aceept All" Some News Paper in Germany go even more agressive. If you want reject then you will be redirected to a a Page where you have to enter your Full Name and get billings from them otherwise yoou have only 2 Choices. "accept them all" or Leave the Website
@@meisterchris8075 Yes I know, but their behaviour isn't in compliance with the cookie law. It sucks
@@meisterchris8075 no deny but a paying subscription instead is legally called extortion.
Oh for sure, they aren't compliant in a lot of ways, and the contact them button is often broken too. If the rest are automatically disabled, 2 aren't. And the cookies are still used before you even click accept or reject!
Even denying all is hard, trying to find secret buttons and tell whether they're on or off because they made it vague af (the identifying device and store location ones unsurprisingly)
I've always wondered WTF is "legitimate interest" even supposed to mean - it sounds so blatantly *stupid* and is such an obvious grift to make you accept cookies when you think you're not, or more likely to make blocking them even more bothersome so you would give up and just click allow all.
But can someone please explain what it's supposed to mean?
When last month google sites suddenly started showing a 3rd button to reject all, just as big and obvious as the accept all and customize button, I had a sneaking suspicion the eu got on their ass again. The whole situation is still far from perfect, but at least * something * is being done
It always seems like the EU is the only one looking out for the common folk. At least compared to American politics...
@@forest7424 It seems like that from the outside, but they are also trying to get rid of privacy by wanting to pass laws enabling them to screen every whatsapp message via AI.
@@TheBerlinTwo do you have a credible source on that?
I could only find a couple of sites that didn't look particularly trustful
@@AltonV czcams.com/video/Hsoddr1MH6k/video.html (in everyone's defence the idea hasn't got universal support at all. Even this state-funded channel is pretty critical of it in the form being proposed.)
What is being done is Google just release their cookies as third party to other sites and vendors in the hope you don't notice that you have accepted them there instead of on Google's own platform.
I've been rejecting cookies since the EU passed that law and it is painful. They really make it as hard as possible to reject, sometimes even swapping button positions and colours to trick you.
And if you accidentally click accept.. good luck find those settings ever again.
Any website doing that the hard way isn't compliant. Unfortunatley that's most that are outside the EU, and even many inside 😅
I've always hoped when I click accept all, someone would post me some freshly baked ones.
I've Clicked out of Pages because it was so intrusive. And that's what you could SEE.
It would be a great prank to do to your friends 😂👌
same
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is hilarious, I also thought of I accept someone is gonna deliver some freshly baked cookies🥘🍪
"Hate yourself? Leafs season tickets on sale now!"
Friggin' priceless! As a Wings fan, I approve.
Go Wings!
also the "fuel prices continue to fall"-headline or "20million city where daily commute takes 20h"
Leafs blow.
As a Leafs fan on indefinite hiatus after the 2013 debacle, I also approve of this joke 🤣
That was hilarious to see, love me some good ol' Leafs trash talk 😆
My general rule for a quick link article website from Twitter or facebook etc. if it doesn't have a reject all button I class it as a spam site and don't visit.
same! I go back to the search results then pick the next one
so you don't use google
I accept them all, but when the session is over and I close Firefox, I've set it to delete cookies from a long list of sites that I don't have accounts for, so don't need their cookies to stay logged in. Also, I briefly open Firefox once more after that and go through the most recent remaining cookies and delete the ones the automatic deletion missed. (But I leave the cookies for sites I want to stay logged in.)
I really hope Firefox will stay around, because it's the only browser I'm aware of having such easy and detailed access to cookies.
Firefox is also the only browser app on android that I'm aware of where you can use extensions. Any chrome-based app has no extension support on android.
when i accept cookies in a website
i go to the store and buy some real cookies
so i truly accept cookies in my life
Hello bacteria
What a champ!
You must buy a lot of cookies
and your ad blocker probably sees a lot of ads about cookies
Cookies aren't empty calories, they're calories filled with love!
Fat love
Lol
@@piccolo2065 ぴっ코로
enjoy your arteries filled with love too
I never 'accept all', so I've spent quite a bit of time digging through cookie option menus of various levels of complexity. On a couple of occasions, I just went 'fuck it', and left the website altogether because finding a way to reject cookies was taking so long.
That is the correct way to do it, that should teach developers to make websites without cookies, but developers are so lazy it's mindboggling.
Same here. I can be really stubborn, and I've often gone through cookie option menus as long as my arm out of sheer spite. But, as Anthony mentioned in the video, I've also gone "fuck it" and left, because I was looking for something that wasn't really that important and couldn't be arsed to deal with the cookie shit.
@@magnusnilsson9792 That's a little unreasonable. Not every website does require settings, but settings are saved with cookies. Imagine if you had to change youtube to dark mode every time you visited.
@@magnusnilsson9792 there is nothing wrong with cookies / local storage for state management of your web application preferences. It’s all the user tracking third party services the business teams want installed that are the problem.
Same for me
IDCAC is functionally uBlock now, as some pages block content, asking you to accept cookies before allowing to view its content.
And Anthony is looking real good
I've never encountered this problem with IDCAC.
Which sites are being broken and demand you to accept their cookies?
@@Woupsme not that they're are being broken, but it is the same as blocking adblockers. As for which sites? I dont recall atm but remember it happening, was probably a government one
My favourite is the "legitimate interest" cookies you can't find without knowing to look.
"legitimate interest" is a fancy term to say "we are gonna assume you gave us your consent even though you literally didn't"
Samsung smart TVs are the worst for Ad tracking and info sharing. It took me 45 minutes to disagree with all the Ad tracking. 😭
Ad
@@ZaHandle Cheers. Edited.
The "Hate yourself? Leafs season Tickets on sale now!" had me in tears
I like how everyone seems to assume that we can trust that a "reject all" button will do what it claims to, even though it's just a button and could be programmed to do anything.
Yeah there's that too
This is what's bugging me about the internet and computers lately, kind of making me anxious so to say. Just because it shows something doesn't mean it's not programmed to do something else in the background. Would love to hear TechQuickie's thoughts on this.
You can inspect the JavaScript and PHP code on websites
pro-tip: a lot of websites hide their trackers behind "legitimate interest". this means that even if you click the "deny" button, they still place some (sometimes a lot) third party cookies because they interpret a loophole in the law very liberally. in theory, you should be able to reject their "legitimate interest" as well, but just use the browser's cookie blocking or an extension like ublock origin
Firefox just prompted me about trying their new cookie protection feature which limits cookies to the website you're on. Thanks to this video, I know exactly what that means and why I should accept it!
The modern internet today is very annoying
Brave does a pretty good job at keeping those annoyances away
It’s funny how I block all cookies but still get ads from other sites I was just on. It’s also funny how I’m not allowed to use websites unless I allow them to use the cookies
tbh id rather get ads that are relevant to me then get some random thing i don't want.
There’s a simple solution to this: the website negotiates with your browser whether you want cookies or not. That way you’d only have to reject once.
But of course there’s way too much money in advertising cookies and the EU does love accepting lobbying cash…
How to get rid of intrusive cookie messages using inspect element:
1. Open inspect element by right clicking on the black area.
2. Delete the popup element.
3. If you can scroll, you're done. If you can't scroll, remove "overflow:fixed" or "overflow:hidden", usually found on the tag inside the "style" value (or it could possibly be hidden in a tag). You can also try changing it to "overflow:scroll". Usually it's not in the CSS file, because to display the popup, usually Javascript code is run and it's easier to modify the tag directly than to mess with the CSS file directly.
And yes, if you only visit the page once or clear cookies often, this can actually be faster than manually de-selecting all of the options (but if the website has a "Reject all" button, use that instead). Keep in mind that if you refresh or go to another page, the popup will be displayed again.
bruh i misclicked and ruined my browser lol so i had to reinstall it XD
@@waylonmorristexas4851 ruined your browser how? Sounds like bullshit?
Fun fact, on most sites "accept all" button does nothing, just closes the popup.
In fact the most popular PHP library for handling the cookie messages does exactly that.
Click to remove element + Overflow it! if you want to do the same with two simple addons and only once, as extension settings are not reset when you clean cookies, caches, history, etc...
@@Laurensnl It is bullshit, I think it was going for a P33Nl5 stuck kind of joke, but with a terrible exeution.
Vivaldi includes a simple version of an auto rejection tool integrated, althought it only works with a few select sites, but if you combine it with other privacy oriented already integrated features, it makes for a quite decent peace of mind.
I work in data protection in the UK and this video was really good! There’s obviously a lot more detail but in 5 minutes you nailed it in a fun way.
I may even reference this video in training going forward!
From all of the hosts at LMG, I feel like Anthony is one of the best
Timely Leafs jokes 🤣
what happens. nothing, absolutely nothing
because the next time you visit a site, it asks you again, and again and again !!
If only they had some way of remembering someone's preferences!
the sad thing about the cookies notification is the fact you have no choice. They have already placed cookies even before you accept/deny them, they make denying them as difficult als possible or they even prevent you from accessing the website at all when you deny cookies.
I don't get it, why is the EU such a big deal? Why are we listening to their dribble about cookies or 30 minute recording limits on cameras? The cookie law sounds good, but obviously no one listened to it, but the other one is just stupid, with absolutely NO good reason for it except to line their politicians' pockets (which is NOT a good thing!)
Why is it that they have so much pull?
Easy... Much bigger consumer market than North America 440 mio Customers ..with a mindset of quality over quantity. Best Customers have the power to influence the product the most.
The EUis a way for transnationals to get into european countries. Your local politicians can then wash their hands over any vile acts of the transnationals, because they did not accept it, the EU did!
The EU law does not make it illegal to store cookies on the client device without consent. You can store functional cookies without consent. That is stuff like session cookies, shopping cart cookies, etc.
I love this guy,
More please!
Pro tip for an added layer of protection: most browsers have an auto delete cookie option that will delete certain levels or all cookies when you completely close all your browser windows
I mean why wouldn't you accept all cookies? They are free all you gotta do is click and there are loads of em!
Bits versus Bytes and how providers make speeds looks faster or slower by changing them
8 bits = 1 byte
U must ACCEPT the cookies. Or the cookie monster will find you. And eat you cookies
Thanks for explaining this Anthony!
The ting that upsets me the most about Cookies is that they arnt stored in a folder called "Jar"
You're also forgetting the websites that allow you to deny or to individually select the third parties, and then proceed to ignore your selection and do it anyway.
thanks for the extension instroduction and setting recommendation.
Thank you for making this. It made me think about it more when visiting sites.
I haven't seen an ad in YEARS on ANY website. ABP, ublock, adblock plus for youtube, I got it all.. I actually forgot ads even exist. And as for........sponsors I just manually skip past.
Thx for the tip about the Cookies extension!
i haven't seen ads in so long i even forgot that they exist.
no script is the best invention ever conceived by humanity.
there's no such thing as incognito mode, it's just a regular tab with darker colors
Yooo man thanks for some chill 5 am vibes very informative 💯🙏
Also, you can manually go into browser settings and clear all cookies, which is a good practice once in a while just in case you missed some.
Hey Anthony, you could have mentioned Firefox and Brave browser on mobile operating systems that does have extension support and does block ads and cookies.
The strange thing I see is that when you go to the "Manage cookies" section it sometimes shows a slider (left to right) for each option, although it doesn't say if right is off or if left is off? The thing getting to me these days is the fact that so many sites have automatic video ads that play. When you are on mobile data it's infuriating as there is no way to turn these off (from what I could find..)
If I remember correctly, the law does not mandate those annoying pop-ups. Technically you need a page like ToS or Privacy Policy or something similar to list what data you are collecting, especially if it's some private data. If you do not collect sensitive data in cookies - no need to do even that. The pop-up appeared as a way for website to cover their asses, in case some data is "leaked", because a lot of them do not care that much about security of the said data.
btw hackers can steal your first party cookies and can log into your account without needing any login informations
thats why it's important to regulary delete your cookies
When I search for explosives unfortunately I dont get any advertisement offers
Microsoft teams actively breaks if you disable 3rd party cookies for their site, like you cant even access the website without allowing them
I use an extension called cookie Auto delete that gets rid of any cookies once I leave a website. it's great because I can choose what website to accept and keep the first party cookies and obviously block all third-party cookies
He mispronounced "Happiness Calories"
😂
The shade thrown at Toronto is great lol
Thank LMG!! Anthony you are the MVP :D
😂😂😂 @ the Leafs column and subsequent ad. Well played.
My favourite are newspapers who only allow you to read the article if you agree with cookies.
didnt know about the decline third party coockies option! Thx!
In the UK, they should call it the 'Biscuits Policy', 'Biscuits Law'.
"Ads?! What is that?"
*pouting in confusion behind my adblock*
Tip: Go into the settings of uBlock Origin and you can enable the annoyances options to prevent cookie banners displaying
I got Last week an ad for a Military drone. idk, why but i like it
Quora used to email me asking me if I still wanted to know something I searched for and some other weird uncomfortable stuff, I was wondering if it was cookies at the time
I read most articles through that one-inch sliver at the top of the cookie prompt.
Kinda use it as a reading ruler 😅😋
In the UK, websites ask you to accept all biscuits.
If you choose "necessary cookies only" on facebook, the website refuses to load.
They don't even give you the choice.
Anthony needs his own LTT channel. This content presented by anyone else, and I wouldn't watch all the way through or just skip forward.
Oh, and I like cookies. Watched this while eating Oreos.
The worst thing is when I painstakingly go through all the settings, including the 'legitimate interest' clicking 'deny' on dozens of check-boxed only to get to the bottom and click the big ' ACCEPT ALL' button anyway instead of the 'Save & Close'. 😖
i usually inspect element and display: none on cookies element
When I see that there is no option of rejecting all cookies I just close the website and not visit it at all
I like the 'reject all' button which is great to see and you give the site a 👍👍👍 and get on with your business.
Great information.
Thanks!
It’s so annoying when they ask you that smh
using NoScript when the wall pops up usually works for me.
Nothing will stop social media sites from tracking once you're logged in fyi.
The leafs curse follow us everywhere.... WE KNOW THEY WONT WIN BUT CAN WE STILL BELIEVE
Keep believing it might happen eventually.
Brave shield has an option for every site you visit as to what cookies to accept
thanks for the advice
Tbh, I am so annoyed with the rampant ads, popups, redirects, etc. that I decided to use an adblocker and just whitelist sites that I usually visit and for the sites that asks me to disable or put them on whitelist, specially sites that will not make you view their contents, I report them as malware sites.
If you go to safari in settings on iOS there’s a block all cookies option for anyone who hates cookies too and it doesn’t affect websites as far as I’ve seen
What's even more annoying is that they keep asking you even it's already your 15,623rd visit to the same site. Mfs really thirsty for that user data huh
thanks was looking for that cookie app :)
I haven't seen one Guardians Ad yet.
Well said! I originally searched for a video on cookies only to find a sea of ignorance. I will always start the hurt on your channel from here on out!🤘🏻
I also use the extension Cookie AutoDelete which automatically deletes all cookies a tab created after you close it. You can also add white and grey listing for all the websites where you want to be keep logged in. With that you can always accept all the cookies because there are gone after closing the tab and tracking does not work anymore. At least not using cookies, because there are other mechanisms that work without cookies...
The EU at 3:50 sure looks like my current boss lol.
right click > inspect> Delete. repeat till its gone entirely. No more irritating box
Do Ctrl+Shift+Del and delete whatever you want, including cookies, case closed.
*NEXT!*
Now I have to check what kind of cookies the ltt store uses^^
(I never was on that site)
you can also use private mode if you're just surfing through countless website looking for some quick info on whatever might come to your mind. You can accept everything in incognito/private mode as no cookies are actually preserved in this state.
the cookies popup is second to one annoying popup. "this website would like to send you notifications"
Great! I didnt know about that "allow all cookies" button. I can finally rest of clicking accept all on every website I visit
Thanks for the tutorial.
I hate when websites force you to except cookies and i am not incognito
How often people just peak behind the boxes to read or just choose a more user friendly site
Now I'm in the grey area when it comes to cookies now 🤔😶, I sometimes accept or reject them completely these day's.
My brain automagically presses cookie settings, save.
Which usually only allows the needed ones.
Yep…been waiting for this one!
Thanks
