  Agreement? Read them 1 hour until you have understood everything.

  I one time for fun (cause I’m insane) read the entire Windows license agreement and MSA (Microsoft Services Agreement). It took me over 1 hour

    I could imagine they’d be interested in you over here: Tosdr.org

      What a great site, I’ll definitely be sharing it with some (naive) friends and colleagues :)

    Back on my Xbox 360 I decided to scroll through the agreement just to see how long it would take. I didn’t read it: I just held down the stick to see how long it would take.

    I gave up after 40 minutes of scrolling.

      That must be some slow scrolling

    Thank you for your sacrifice

    Wow. Is it even legal to have it that long?

    I bet a lot was of details were missing in there as well.

  Ask cookie question is required.

  Thank the European bureaucrats that don’t understand technology.

    No, it’s the website’s fault. You only need explicit consent if you’re tracking users beyond what your service obviously requires to function, the problem is these sites are stalking you.

    And if it’s even slightly harder to decline than to accept they’re likely not in compliance anyway so it’s definitely not the EU’s fault.

      Of course it’s the website fault, but just like government don’t let companies do whatever they want (all the time) the have to force websites to not do certain things, a warning certainly doesn’t do much when people keep clicking “accept”

        It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.

    Sure, but can we at least agree that 800 “partners” is a tad too much?

      Of course, the problem is they shouldn’t have gone for a warning, they should have gone against the practice of having 800 partners.
