Not sure how long this has been a thing but I was surprised to see that you cannot view the content without either agreeing to all or paying to reject.

Refer them to the EU. EU is going after Meta for charging for an ad-free plan. Oh, right. The EU only goes after USA corporations and deliberately wrote their rules to exclude companies like Spotify. Oh wait, there was Brexit, so it doesn’t matter anyway. Brits voted themselves right to fucking shit. Kinda like what we might do in a few months.
Vote. The stupid people definitely will, so it’s necessary to combat them.
And fuck abstaining on the basis of we only have two bad choices, I want a true leftist candidate. I would too, but by abstaining you are basically taking the bullshit liberal position of “I can’t tell the difference between these two things”
“Back to concent”
Fucking animals.
Can you manually uncheck all then save it?
Happy cake day :)
They are all unchecked by default but you can’t save and exit, it just loops back to the subscribe screen.
FYI you should probably be blocking/whitelisting cookies client-side anyways. At the very least, disable third party cookies.
“News outlet” might be the most generous interpretation I’ve ever seen.
“News” outlet? Hardly. The mirror is basically Russian propaganda.
A lot of websites in France have done the same for the past couple of years. Including Allociné, me ex-go-to source of information for movies and movie theatre schedule. Result: I have blocked those websites and I prefer pirating.
This is their homepage, in case anyone is looking https://www.mirror.co.uk/
Well ok, they have no GDPR.
I don’t think they repealed it. And besides, it applies to EU citizens regardless.
It’s standard practice in France too. This is not forbidden by RGPD.
you Frenchies and your fucked up transposed acronyms
Shut the fuck up or I’ll go OTAN on your ass.
Careful, your 5.56 OTAN bullets might shoot backwards.
German news outlets all do it. The data protection agencies have sadly so far ruled it’s ok (there are still ongoing lawsuits afaik).
Every outlet in Italy as well.
For those unaware, NoScript plugin helps with this.
Basically every other German outlet
Don’t forget every other food blog 😑
I’ve seen this on a few sites. They aren’t even allowed to make rejecting cookies more difficult than accepting them but right now the legal people are trying to educate before they starting enforcing these rules. I expect the lawyers at the Mirror know that this is illegal but think they can get away with it.
All those things like having to “customise” your cookies to turn them all off, and “legitimate interest” is all illegal under the rules but they’re trying their luck.
It’s a litmus test for me. Just tells me not to use their site.
“Part of Reach”
The Mirror website is cancer. I use NoScript and it won’t load without allowing about 50 fuckkng scripts. MSN too. I avoid both but occasionally click on a link from elsewhere
