The original GDPR law already said that it must be as easy to consent as to deny consent. And yet most websites don't implement that. I wonder if this law has any extra teeth.

But what will I do now in my free time, if I'm unable to spend it clicking "reject" 874 times (real number btw.) for "legitimate interests".
I'm sure that's still an option
Most privacy plugins (even the ones that work less because of chromium) have an option to "auto-decline all" standard cookie popups.
I use ghostery but I think uBlock origin has an opt-in one, and almost certainly there's plugins that only do the declining (if you don't want the adblockers for other reasons).
A few banners already do this. I do wish they all would do it, even as a second click when you have all the options listed would be an improvement.
Man, don't put chocolate chip cookies in the thumbnail if the post isn't about chocolate chip cookies. Now I need to go eat some chocolate chip cookies or I'm going to feel off all day.
Ikr. Literally working in a bakery rn and I'm like 'bruh'...
But am I a hero or douche for consistently clicking 'reject non-essentials' without thinking? 🤔
Neat, but how about you enforce GDPR first. Which already includes a part about requiring an easy way to deny all non-essential cookies.
