  Do you know if there is a EU-wide place to report such behavior?

  The biggest privately owned TV channel in my country not only does that, but actually just redirects you to a pdf file if you want to “manage cookies”. And it’s not like I can submit a complaint on a national level, as the ruling party’s website uses google analytics without a cookie notice at all.

    I think you report to your nation’s Data Protection Centre, each member has their own that takes the reports. If I was still in the EU I would have put more time into finding out how reports work.

      Yeah, either of the nation or your nation may have data protection officers for individual states/regions.

    Here you can find the GDPR authority per EU country.

  Yes this would make sense.

  Quote from “What methods can we use to obtain consent?”:

  If you are asking for consent electronically, consent must be “not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided”. You need to ensure you adopt the most user-friendly method you can.

  For a website, hiding rejection behind a link should class as “unnecessarily disruptive”. If you can provide consent with the press of a single button then rejecting should also be the press of a single button.

    I mean almost all websites fall foul of that. You often have to bury deep and end up with a palette of complicated choices and acceptances of individual tracking companies. It’s a bloody mess. The EU should just have mandated “do not track” adherence. There’s already a standard; just enforce it.

  Most sites definitely don’t do this

    I encounter something similar to this often.

    There’s a lot of cookie banners where “Accept All Cookies” is a single button but in order to reject cookies you have to press a “Manage Cookies” link which will have something similar to a “Reject All Cookies” button in it.

    It’s very annoying.

      There is also a name for these kind of psychological tricks and pressure. It’s called nudging.

      I found a small report on this by the EU Commission’s science and knowledge service. publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/…/JRC127856_01.pdf

      There are surely even better resources.

      Yeah this is very common, I don’t know why other people on here are gaslighting like it doesn’t happen. It’s this way for major sites like YouTube/Twitter/Twitch/etc too.
