  To be fair I havent gotten one of those types of captchas in a while.

    The thing your missing is, when you click only allow non essential, that means it’s still 700 companies tracking you because of the great term “legitimate interest”. That’s the one you need to deactivate and this usually one by one as shown in this post.

    So yeah, you’re essentially allowing all the stuff the way you’re doing it

      Well its allow only essential / reject all non essential cookies.

      Idk I used to have to go through one by one and do this. Now there’s typically somewhere around 4 subcategories. Essential / strictly necessary cookies say always active and there’s nothing you can do to change anything in that category and everything else has been lumped into other categories you can reject by hand or hit the reject button. all those companies fall under marketing. I guess maybe if I turn off the marketing / targeting category, there’s some within that don’t turn off, but much of the time they don’t even give me the option to check who’s participating.

      Maybe I have trained myself not to go to those places. If I have, it wasn’t on purpose. Occasionally, i get interested in a subject and randomly search, but i dont do most social media so idk. Maybe I don’t even realize hit the back button anymore when i see it menus that make me do this. To me this post seems like something that I would encounter maybe a year ago, of not more. Not something I see on the regular now.

    You will often get these captchas if you use a popular VPN.

      I keep getting some stupid drag this puzzle piece, in a straight line, into place. I’ve gotten 1 grid like that and a word captcha in the past 6 months.

        Same (proton and ublocker), but I have also found that some web pages cares what browser you use if you are on proton. If I use chrome then they may just do the verification when you wait 3 seconds but with Firefox and proton (not without proton) do I get a lot of captcha sometimes even after each other just to make triple sure I am not a bot… or even get blocked entirely…

    Might be because you trained yourself to avoid those sites that need them. I stopped using some SaaS because logging in was just too hard.

    It’s VPN’s that’ll trigger the captchas. I never get them unless I forget to turn mine off after “hanging out with my peers”, and then a BUNCH of sites will captcha me
