I am so incredibly tired of cookie popups. Why is this not a standard in browsers to pass along our default settings?

With "I Don't Care About Cookies" and uBlock, the web is a far nicer place.

It would be nice if you didn't need to grant a 3rd party extension privilege to literally everything you browse, to get websites to not warn you about a feature that has been in browsers for multiple decades.

There basically is, so I blame marketers wanting to fatigue users.

Its related to paranoia over gdpr, not marketers

It’s a toxic mix of both. If it wasn’t for the tracking and data reselling, those pop ups would be unnecessary.

Many also exhibit dark patterns, making it look like accepting everything is the only option, hiding or even flat-out not providing alternatives. That’s the marketing people, not the GDPR

Two problems with that.

Fist, they could comply with no popup at all if they only used necessary cookies: https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/

And second, many of the popups do not comply with GDPR because they are not genuine, fair, unbiased consent: https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-aims-end-cookie-banner-terror-and-is...
