Here's a detailed article from @TechCrunch on @MidasNouwens work on #GDPR consent pop-ups that he did during his stay-abroad at @MIT_CSAIL (to-be published at #CHI2020). It also reports on our GDPR browser extension developed here at @AarhusUni https://t.co/cJOGyvpj60

Useless anyway. Not to mention that everybody just got used to clicking without even reading or bothering.

"Cookie notices not only generate friction and frustration for the average internet user, as they try to go about their daily business online, but the current situation is creating a faux veneer of compliance," writes @riptari in @TechCrunch https://t.co/l8riq0NGWd

Most cookie consent forms accomplish NOTHING beyond harassing users on the web. We already have a way to surf the web without tracking — it’s called incognito mode. https://t.co/paGKoSmm0I

A new study finds that most cookie consent forms are violating GDPR privacy laws while "creating a faux veneer of compliance — atop what is actually a massive trampling of rights via what amounts to digital daylight robbery of people’s data at scale." https://t.co/i5xjOfJ09D

So most of those annoying website cookie consent notices you get if you’re in EU are illegal and don’t amount to valid consent for data tracking.

The fact it’s unsurprising only makes it more outrageous. Enforce GDPR! https://t.co/oKNDH7xiAB

Because, ? #Privacy! ?

Consent must be obtained prior to a service using cookies; only essential cookies can be used without asking first.

Per EU law — it should be equally easy for a website visitors to choose not to be tracked as to agree to be.https://t.co/ygz0aceYX3

« It should be equally easy for website visitors to choose NOT to be tracked as to AGREE to their personal data being processed » - Guess what, that’s not the case!
