“We value your privacy”
Gotta love their claim followed by “We and our 1537 partners…”
You do, of course, have the option to disable them (possibly one by one?)

At least they’re honest about how many people are going to be given a slice of your data.
Those boxes with endless scrolls of radios, all unchecked except every “Legitimate Interest” input control, annoy me. You need to opt out of them all one by one, but I still do it.
I downloaded a mobile game once (ad-supported) and went through the splash popup after starting the game. Turned off every radio. Took ages. Afterwards, when I started the game proper, it refused to play and said I had to uncheck all the legitimate interest ones or the game wouldn’t run 🤔

What I “like” is that even one disables all, there are still cookies served.

Well, there needs to be one to remember your preferences. Otherwise the intrusive cookie box would show up every page visit.

I’m using Privacy Badger. This is from a site, after refusing all cookies.

It is in the EU and I’ve send a complaint already for the particular one:)
There are nevertheless thousands of sites like this. EU based or not, all sites have to abide to GDPR when viewed from the EU. Privacy Badger has become one of my stables on ff.

Re: “We value your privacy”
Yiannis,
You use Firefox, iirc. Out of curiosity, what are your browser settings under Privacy and Security? And how well does it block the more ugly spying&tracking in your experience? (without add-ons)
I’ve used “Strict” for a while that was too aggressive. Nowadays I use “Standard” + UBlock Origin lightly tuned.

Philippe,
I use standard but I enhance it with:
- Privacy Budger
- Adblock Plus
- Facebook Container
- Disconnect
