So almost every GDPR cookie consent banner out there has a section for “legitimate interest” cookies that they can leave on by default and you will inadvertently accept even if you choose “Reject all” unless you go to the detailed settings and disabled those too.
Some of them have dozens of legitimate-interest cookies.
I read some articles about what they are and why it is allowed to keep them on by default, but they were very vague. So can someone explain it to me like I am five?
I know right? Now, I’m not a lawyer, but it seems interesting because of what it isn’t. 1a through e are consent, needed for business, legal obligation, (your) vital interests or another being, or public interest/authority.
So after all that, you have to figure… what legitimacy’s left?
