They still have to inform you, right? Like with some banner at the edge of the page telling that they use cookies, just no need for a popup asking you to accept or decline.
NEVER click decline all. There are loopholes built in that still grant access to “legitimate interest” cookies, which are recognized differently from “consent cookies.” If you click reject all, it still allows collection of certain personal info through cookies labeled legitimate interest. Which is entirely up to advertisers to categorize.
As annoying as it is, always open up options and manually uncheck cookies.
With TCF 2.2 “legitimate interest” is no longer allowed (but that’s probably only for IAB members). At our company we already had a rule where we disabled all “legitimate interests” from our vendors, so I assume there are other companies that do the same.
Man the worst I saw was a petrol station, when you walked in up to the tills there was this little sign on a floppy plastic thing that said they had face recognition running and a QR code to scan. The text of the sign mentioned “legitimate interests” but in no way directed users to scan the code and go to the website to object their consent.
It’s such bullshit. These companies collect up the data we produce and sell it for pure profit, without offering anything in return. The data brokerage industry is worth multiple trillions of $ per year, with only $8bn people in the world it stands to reason that the average user’s data is worth $1,000 per year, but they just pick that out of our pockets and use it against us.
