The biggest lie of all websites. There are websites, that if you want to use them, you MUST agree to ads and tracking, or you MUST pay a subscription to be free (no ads and no tracking). This is disgusting, this is REALLY disgusting.

Edit: I should add an example. transfermarkt.pl and their Content Pass for 3.99€ per month.

“We care about you privacy…”

Also:

“Please allow us to share your data with our 936 partners”

We care about your privacy, in the same way we care about laws. I.e. just enough to ensure we don't get sued.

Absolutely the WORST is when you have cookie notice and all partners are ticked with no "disable all" button.

It gets worse when you click each individual partner to revoke consent and at the bottom hit the wrong button to apply :-/

It happened. Clear website cookies and do it again ¯\(ツ)/¯
