Dark Patterns Hall of Shame
Cookie consent banners are the worst. I could swear that every single one I‘ve ever encountered has „Accept all“ as primary call to action. On top of that some employ opt-out forms made in hell, where one has to manually click through half a dozen of checkboxes while „Accept all“ is still the primary action at the bottom of said form. I‘m not only incredibly annoyed by constantly being greeted with obtrusive overlays and huge banners, I‘ve also given up on opting out a long time ago[1]. Arguably this part of GDPR failed miserably.[1] Manually opting out that is, I‘m blocking trackers on DNS level and via browser plugins.
