    People living in EU. You guys are lucky. These cookie banners and stuff behave differently there because EU forces the reject all button

      Every other website i visit has a different tactic of hiding their reject button.

      They will even give a second pop up leaving you unable to use the website in hopes of you clicking accept anyway.

          I tend to do the same, also for those websites that come with a secondary pop up.

          Makes me feel like they really don't give a fuck, so why should i then and it's easy to click back and try the next website in the rows of results.

          The weirdest one i found was a couple days ago and i kinda give them props for it, as it made me go: "woooow almost had me."

          They had this whole standard wall of text with reasons to get you to accept and i didn't see thr reject all button. It was a fairly lenghty wall too so i started scanning it for recognizeable words until my eyes passed: "reject" in the text. It was regular looking text but clickable.

      The EU does force the reject all button, however companies and websites often don't care about the law; some newspaper in my country straight up ask for a subscription to let you have the privilege of disabling cookies on their ad-ridden dying websites, and many more don't have a "reject all" button.

      I try to report some of them but who knows if it does something.

      Plus from personal experience; when you setup a GDPR button through Google, by default there is no "reject all" button. Or the equally mandatory "x" to close the popup, thus rejecting cookies. You need to tick a box to enable them.
