    Most of these consent pop ups are designed to be insanely annoying to the point where you just click accept all on a long list of cookies for individual things and they are not even grouped

      it’s illegal, there should be a “continue without accepting” link everytime, and in the selection of choice, all non essential should be disabled, but yeah, there’s still some website not playing the game correctly, hopefully UE will give sanction at some point?

        It’s sad that for some of the more obnoxious offenders where you need to individually opt out for each ad partner they carry it still may take the addon 30+ seconds. Imagine how long it would take to click everything manually. And that stuff is illegal by the way: rejecting everything must be just as easy as accepting everything. If I come across such a site I typically just avoid them from that point forward.

      90% of the time^1 there’s at least a Cancel or Reject button. Sometimes you even get to pick which categories right there without it being two or three levels deep.
