Where GDPR went wrong 

What? lol XD

True, or like google where you cant disable any cookies lol

Lol

firefox 86

Those are the real essential cookies lol

or just "Accept" with a cookie policy 'read me' text that isn't underlined or highlighted in any way ^^

The options are correct. Yes/Yes.

But it did. The law clearly states that rejecting all cookies has to be just as easy as accepting all cookies.

@@axelnils Yesterday I spent 14 minutes turning off the cookies. It was on the site Human benchmark.

that wouldn't work, most websites need some cookies or they wouldn't work properly. But I get ur point which is probably about third party cookies

@@hazreh they are allow essential cookies, and many sites already have a Reject All button, it's just not mandatory

The law prevents websites from checking every boxes by default. Which leads generally (at least in my country) to 2 "accept" buttons: - Accept all: it automates the checking of all boxes and validates - Accept the current selection: it is equivalent to "Reject All" Of course, guess which one is the big highlithed button and which one is the the small almost unreadable button :p

Iky

Not quite 3 years, it was May 2018 when it was introduced.

My exact reaction.

among it one year goes to corona😂

Boy oh boy do I have some NEWS for you!

Agreed. Could have easily made excuses or simply not brought it up. Was pretty darn transparent, though. Props to Tech Altar.

Can you refuse the data and cookies, can you use site after saying no? In a lot of cases no... Basically GDPR is as useless as a EULA for games. If you want the service, you don't really have a choice to say no.

except there is www.cookiebot.com/en/cookie-banner/

You just said it sucks. There is a demand for easy cookie rejection. The "deny all" options cannot be smaller, or more difficult to find than the "allow all" button. That's the law. And the fact that you didn't know that illustrates how big of a joke GDPR is. When was the last time you visited a website with a deny all button? How many of these websites can you recall in total? Yeah, those websites are legal. 99.9% of the internet is not.

@@ast5515 well then fuck all those illegal sites until they comply, i'm totally fine with that.

@@OveRaDaMaNt You're watching RU-vid. Fuck those sites indeed, but don't forget that you depend on them.

@@ast5515 I don't think I depend on any of those sites outside of youtube and even then I could just watch it with youtube-dl

They should of added that the reject button is easy to see and that any way trying to get around that would face legal consequences

Ye, i especially love those sites, where the reject button isn't even a button but a link hidden in a giant wall of text with many other links in it

This ist called a dark pattern

The problem is that if you are so keen on rejecting cookies, your only option is to leave the page. Sure there are tracking cookies used for ads and other things, but most cookies just hold some small state to make the website function properly. It need to know who you are logged in as for example, that is usually stored in cookies. So reject all would just lead to a page telling you to go away.

​@@johanrg70 We're not talking about those cookies, we're talking about the bs ones that sell our info onwards

Does that matter? Internet is international.

@@igorthelight It does. Not talking about only this video. He makes videos about EU phone manufacturers. Talks in € not $. There is a lot more information from EU that you can see in channels like LTT or MKBHD.

Glad you liked it!

@@paakjis companies are international. for example in stock market world indexes us stocks have 60% weight while revenue from that region is like 30% and the rest is from other parts of the world. apple in Ireland or subsidiaries aren't paper companies

@@igorthelight not entirely though. What is available and how much things cost varies by region. American tech sites don't generally cater to European release dates, European prices, or European region locking (such as online services like Hulu not being available outside the US).

ikr time flies but the world isn't movie or at least that's what it feels like

No, it doesn't, it only annoys everyone. Using web without idontcareaboutcookies extension is impossible nowadays

@@jakubwegrzyn3798 i didnt know that extenstion exists. Thank you!

@@jakubwegrzyn3798 The cookies part is indeed a problem, I use firefox with all 3rd party cookies disabled and ublock on top of that but I'll look into your extension.

They should make a part on making the cookies option non intrusive and have the ability to disable it/saving options easy to read without being a complete word soup to be along with downloading your own data being easy to access and use

@Grooty agreed

lol. so true

If you don't want them them to use your data, why do you have problems with getting banned from their service? It's like going to a computer technician's shop and saying I won't allow you charge me, but don't ban me from using your service. You are basically acting like a freeloader. Facebook-Instagram isn't an essential service. You aren't going to die if you can't follow your favourite movie star on Instagram

@@biplabkumarghosh6300 Many people seem to think that Facebook/Twitter/Google aren't _private_ companies, but state-funded essential services lol

@@biplabkumarghosh6300 I guess it's to do with how GDPR was written. Basically GDPR stated that you could use services without any repercussions. The problem is that with Facebook/Google/YT you are the product, as they earn money by serving ads to you. People should have the choice to opt-out even if it costs you money to use the service. I have no problem with paying for my service if this means that now you won't use my data to target an army of ads for me.

@@LPMusicON That's what I am trying to argue. If people should have the choice to opt-out, so should the companies. They shouldn't be forced to serve a customer who doesn't want to see ads. Facebook, Google, RU-vid isn't an essential service. They should have the right to refuse to serve a customer who doesn't want ads or data collection, just as a physical store can refuse to serve a customer who doesn't pay

Use cash.

Me too

Very clear language in the law should work

I don't get why we don't have percentual fines yet. (Fines as a percent of monthly revenue)

As long as websites are free, you are the product

Which is why the maximum fines are either 20 million euro, or 4% of ANNUAL WORLD WIDE REVENUE WHICHEVER IS GREATER. These fines are made to sting more than swimming in the Dead Sea with microcuts due to shaving, which already stings a hell of a lot more than aftershave. I just wish there was a minimum fine set too, .5% or 2.5 million (1/8th of the max).

Do that on any well-constructued website and it bricks on the spot.

This has been mostly US-based sites for me though

"by continuing to use this site, you agree to our cookie policy" should be an INSTANT judicial dissolution. I'm not fucking around. Close these doors, throw the execs in the bin and wait for the trucks to collect.

And yet they play the little guy

I just found and clicked a button to get data. Do you mean data deletion request

@@computerfan1079 No, requesting data. I've had several accounts "banned" and every time I asked for my data I never got it. Trying to get it again off them right now actually.

@@John-rj4kv "Please note that when an account is disabled, all data is scheduled for deletion or anonymization, and is therefore not available for user request. Additionally, we do not provide server ownership transfers or friends lists under the circumstances." What they just told me. Smh

@@fiverZ Lol, so allegedly they may or maynotvstill have it. If it is just scheduled for disposal or anonimization that is not enough.

Honestly sounds like a great idea, hope someone could make something like that one day

It's called an adblocker.

Uh, i mean, if you really want It step by step how you describe, you may aswell create your own site lol, keep dreaming

I agree. I hope there is a bit more substance to the definition in the actual law

Except they don't. This is a very dumb philosophy on law and order. Maybe in Plato's day law enforcement was not realistically possible but literally millions of people are sent to prison or punished in other ways because they broke laws and didn't find a way around them.

So you suggest to don't have any laws at all?

Amen.

with Roblox i have had the worst GDPR experience ever, whenever you make a request they just ask you to send them a full photo of your ID or passport to "prove your identity"... despite your roblox account never actually being linked to your real name or real-life identity and despite them asking you not to link it to your real name

@@alex15095 right so Roblox basically wanted to KNOW YOUR WHOLE PASSPORT WTF

nobody would sue huge corp for such small things

@@zukacs who wouldn't sue a company if they knew they were gonna win? if a million people sued a company each for 1k euro that's a billion euro right there

Time has shown that only having the right to do so doesn't mean that people will exercise them, sadly!

@@mufasaiam7794 bt the corps have bigass lawyers. See GameStop,

@@vedaryan334 They might have a way with words, but they aren't magicians, if a company blatantly breaks a law they'll still be in big trouble.

Shit like that should be outright illegal as it goes against everything gdpr was made to do and fucks over the citizen by making the business's prefered choice easy to use while the other one is far to convoluted for the average user to care

Funimation is blocked in Europe so they don't have to abide by the GDPR anyway.

Companies are only required to have a DPO if the company processes personal information systematically and/or on a large scale as a core activity, or if it’s a public authority or body. I don’t think having a DPO is required just for having cookies on your website, as you say. Check out Article 37(1) of the GDPR and the “Guidelines on Data Protection Officers” document.

@@flp322 To clarify, cookies alone did not create my position, it's just one of the things I have to do now.

Glad it was helpful!

Happy you liked it! Hope the new law works out for you :D

You are 100% right

This isn't the 90s anymore let alone the 2000s. There is no way a small startup will ever compete with the giants no matter the laws. Might as well protect the consumers at the very least.

@@HYDRAdude no it doesn't protect any consumers, it only annoys them

If you are designing a new product it's not all that hard to not run afoul of GDPR, since you can design the product around it.

@@EraYaN but as a small company, you have to know how to do it, and it is a lot of money consulting solicitors. Gdpr is a problem for small company.

Brave browser does something like that

@@fgsaramago Brave is Google.

@@neaar4217 Oh I always thought that videos are 30fps when there's sometimes a 60fps option. But thanks for that information.

I don't think it would've cost the EU too much to at least make every website have an easy way to opt out of tracking by force

Yes, you allow the advertisement networks to run a profitable business. Thus the society can get free-to-use self-sufficient websites like RU-vid. The alternative would be, if your friend sends you a link for a video, you have pay that site, say, $50/month, even if you just need to use it for 1 minute. The current advertisement based monetization services, allow even small new websites, to get money showing you advertisements. If society shifts to a monthly subscription-based website, most people would only subscribe to big companies, who generate a lot of content. Not many would subscribe to a small website having a fraction of the content

Some are used for logins or customization like configurations on a website. (There are over options, but cookies is one solution for this)

@@biplabkumarghosh6300 well, "free-to-use" in terms of not paying with money, you still pay the price of your privacy, giving these convoluted networks all sorts of private data, that may just be used, to give you a more individual advertisement on the next ad banner, but combining these fragments of your day-to-day internet use, can also be used, to construct group targeted adds with a very certain, but on first sight not visible intend, nudging targeted people into a certainer frame of mind or towards a specific opinion regarding a certain topic for example While not completely the same, that whole mess with the Facebook - Cambridge Analytica data scandal some years back, always comes to my mind, and that's just one instant, that got uncovered and heavily discussed... Sure, all those "free" services are great, but there surely are less egregious as well as consumer friendlier ways, of making a profit. These massive collections of personal data can be a very powerful tool, that I wouldn't trust people who intend to make money off of it, with.

If you do not accept cookies from RU-vid, you have to sign in again everytime you visit RU-vid, every picture, thumbnail etc have to be redownloaded and for example, if you turn on or off subtitles, this option gets saved in the cookie file. Hopefully this informed you enough

You get personality based ads which like it or not are pretty useful and you can kept logged in the browser instead of having to log everytime you restart

Add safari too. I'm very satisfied with "privacy tracker" on safari.

Brave is just a marketing trash that has no real features. You're better off with chromium based browser with ad/tracking blocker.

If you had that in murica, you wouldn't have a thriving startup ecosystem. Ever wondered why big tech companies are from the US, and not Europe? Because of the regulatory shithole the EU is.
