Ok but can we talk about that cookies popup? Yikes
I mean, isn't that the better way of doing it? One popup, exains everything, gives you the option to opt out in that popup instead of going through settings and shit.
I think it's intentionally wordy and the opt-out is "on" by default. I am usually instinctively just trying to hit the "off" button as quickly as possible and hitting save so I can get rid of the window, without actually reading anything. I almost certainly would have accidentally opted in to third party tracking.
I fully admit I might just be dumb though.
It could be less wordy, it isn't perfect. I have definitely run into ones that require going through multiple layers of settings though, so this just seems a lot less bullshit than that.
Looking at the image again, default to not sharing while calling that 'on' and being slightly awkward is definitely not an accident and is probably designed to trick people paying no attention at all.
