No cookie consent walls, scrolling isn’t consent, says EU data protection body

Exactly. These dark patterns tell me more about the corp behind a site than any regular well-designed cookie popup could. One quick look on these, and I navigate away. Haven't visited TC for a long time.. just not worth it.

Another dark pattern you see more often these days are sites having a - seemingly very good - "Reject all" choice. But when you click/tap that both "Reject all" and the default "Accept all" are now highlighted, making the result of pressing "Continue" unclear.

Another one is taking a looong time to "save your choice". In the order of a couple minutes.

I assume they hope you just click agree instead.

They also redirect you from TC to guce_advertising_com/collectIdentifiers... If you have uMatrix installed you need to add bypass lists for that... I won't.
