It isn’t a lie, they value your privacy a lot, they make money selling it to third parties.
Longer the text of the PP, less privacy in the service, always. Services with real privacy don’t need a long PP with a lot of legal jerga, they have nothing to hide.
Best to scan the service with Webbkoll or Blacklight, Or Exodus (Android), there you see what they do with your data.
I’d like to think that there’s a disagree button in the “more” button, but I’m not holding my breath. As an aside, I’ve seen some (Guardian, for example) that let you disagree IF you subscribe for money. Pretty sure that’s gotta be illegal.
usually, that format involves toggling off every single one of their third party partners, and then a separate toggle is further down for each one’s “legitimate use” or something.
they’re clearly hoping that by making it incredibly time-consuming to go through every option, that most people would give in and accept all.
i don’t think that’s supposed to be allowed under GDPR, but making complaints is also time-consuming. i’d rather just leave those sites immediately after seeing there’s no “reject all” and make a mental note that their stinky site is unusable 🤷
I think it’s regional. Often you’ll see “necessary only” which, who knows what they consider “necessary”. If you have a adblocker, there’s typically a list for “cookie annoyances” you need to enable for some reason. If that doesn’t work you can always use the element picker, although that sometimes breaks the site. If that happens I just leave.
“We value your privacy” above 1032 partners and no disagree button is unhinged
“We value your privacy” is the most common lie on the internet in the last decade

Isn’t there supposed to be a one click disagree to all button, legally? Or did I misunderstand that law?

“We value your privacy”
They value it alright. Like how an oil company can “value” an oilfield - so much untapped resources, just sitting there waiting to be exploited.
