    • We value your privacy (in a twisted way)
    • Our company's value (increases with access to) your privacy

    Or the idea of the title and text was to create a paradox like: The following statement is true. // The preceding statement is false.

    We value your privacy. We're selling it.

    797 partners? Might need to get tested haha

    whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.

    it would suck to individually reject those 797 "partners".

    This button doesn't often work as you'd expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called "legitimate interest" option. The only way to be sure is to click "manage preferences" and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you'll see "object all" in there, but some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.

    Recently a pirate website for music, free-mp3-download.net got updated with this crap included. You have to toggle it off every time. All vendors separately. I took a stopwatch, it takes me around 2 minutes and 50 seconds.

    Sounds friendly.

    To be fair, free-mp3-download.net is not a URL I would voluntarily go to. I mean seriously...

    There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can't get an "informed consent" from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.

    "We respect your privacy to the extent the law requires us to. Maybe."

  • I respect that you want it to be a small birthday party.

    Me and my 718 closest friends will be there..

    Anything ran by Microsoft is a privacy concern (includes Windows, Teams, npm, GitHub)

    "We value your privacy". Proceeds to not value any kind of privacy at all

    At least they are (forced to be) honest ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I like the rest of the wording, too. They'd like to process arbitrary data from the device. And third parties act out of their own motivation as long as it is their legitimate interest...

    Use 'REJECT ALL'.

    Hehe, keep up spreading that important info 💪✌️. Most people aren't aware and this practice should be illegal. Reject ALL... Every word they say is just a fucking lie.

    I guess 'Reject All' means just 'reject all of the above', and there are are additional terms that are binding, they just spared you from handling those with this popup, or why is that kind of thing legal?

    "We valuated your privacy", more like

    What's worse is when it's accept all or manage preferences, and you manually have to turn off cookies for all 718 partners individually, every time you open the app.

    They do value your privacy very expensively!

  • They do infact value your privacy. Only to them it is of low value

    That's why F-Droid exists.

  • I'd say they're not lying. They do value your privacy. It's making them, and 797 of their closest friends, a lot of money.

    "If you have to ask, you do not respect my privacy"

    Imagine applying to private university and reading their privacy policy, where they clearly say, how they get your private information from third parties and share all info with third parties. And when you ask administrator, how can i prevent them from doing that, they say, that they do not share/get info from/to thirdparties. Bravo
