Consent/legitimate interest Reject All button?

85 replies

BloodyFeetByMoonlight · 07/12/2021 18:03

I usually stay logged in on my phone but randomly had to sign in again just now & had to do the pita cookie consent business again.

All the Consents come up as opt in but can we get a ‘reject all’ button for the ‘legitimate interest’ stuff? (Or have I missed seeing it in the huff of having to rechoose?)

Many won’t care I know and happily have all the cookies etc but a reject all would be handy for those that don’t because it’s annoying to have to scroll through (esp on my teeny old phone Blush)

Obvs don’t expect companies to want to prob why the legitimate interest buttons exist alongside the consent buttons in the first place Hmm but I’ve noticed more sites have ‘reject all’ alongside ‘accept all’ for both consent & legitimate interest so sticking an ask in Grin

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet May we have an update please? I'm still having to tick umpteen boxes. I feel thoroughly let down.

AuntieStella · 15/03/2022 07:02

That did not happen for me.

It was the same old consent form and it took 160 clicks this time.

I really feel very let down over this. it was bad enough that you took a "jam tomorrow" approach in the first place ( this issue as raised by users 18 months ago) but then it was absolutely promised as part of the change.

And then you didn't do it.

That really shogddy treatment towards your content-generators

@kittensinthekitchen yes that's correct. We are replacing the CMP (consent management platform). When users first come to the new site they will be shown the CMP and will have the option to reject all.

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

Hi *@kittensinthekitchen* happy to confirm that yes, there will be a one click reject all option when we launch the new site within the next couple of weeks. Thanks for bearing with us along the way as we appreciate it's not been easy for you.
Thanks @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet but that didn't answer my specific question.

Can you confirm that once the new site is launched and we are able to 'reject all' that this will override any and all existing acceptances that we may have made previously?

RoseAndRose · 21/02/2022 16:20

So basically, despite all tthe user comments and complaints ever since this was launched, you decided to do nothing about it.

This could and should have been dealt with 18 months ago.

@larkstar

MN has to instruct Permutive to make the opt out 1 click - plenty of other GDPR compliant sites now do this - this is not difficult. Imagine how difficult it is for someone with poor eyesight, poor motor control, arthritis, etc to exercise their right to opt out - there is no excuse for delaying this change.
Absolutely.

I have motor issues and because I used to reject all I was continually being asked again and again and having to go through the whole process often.
I finally - thanks to nothing but pressure from MN - clicked to accept, and funnily haven't once been asked to review my decision since.

Halsall · 20/02/2022 17:07

In the meantime, just had to plough through all the consents again…..

EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn · 18/02/2022 08:36

That's good to know, Fliss!

Hi JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx - we can feel your frustration and we're sorry it's taken a long time to make this change.

Our new system is expected to go live at the end of February and there IS a reject all button!!!

Hang in there; change is coming.

JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx · 17/02/2022 18:56

Just had that consent thing again today.

Fuck me it’s annoying that there’s no ‘reject all’ button yet.

AuntieStella · 02/02/2022 18:35

And it was 48 clicks then

162 now

AuntieStella · 02/02/2022 18:34

It was raised in autumn 2020, so it's been 18 months of trying and failing to persuade MN to act on this

larkstar · 02/02/2022 16:46

What action has MN actually taken and when to respond to complaints about opting out of tracking cookies - when was it first raised? What are the time scales? What decisions have been made - any or none on this issue?

It is the worst site I use for trackers.

FluffytheGoldfish · 20/01/2022 18:19

Again having to do this. Also agree makes me more likely to go elsewhere rather than accept all.
I noted this one…Who on earth needs to have cookies for 60 +years?

@Chemenger

Just had to do it all again. This really hardens me against accepting anything. It feels like you hope that eventually everyone will give in and click accept all.
This is how i feel also.
Memyselfandfood · 20/01/2022 08:36

And again…..

Ascii · 20/01/2022 07:53

7 days on from the last time and I’ve had to do it again. 159 clicks to reject all. I really feel that it’s a very underhand way to get us to accept permissions that we don’t want. My trust in Mumsnet as a business is rock bottom. It’s only the other posters/users that keep me coming back as their wealth of experience and insight is invaluable. But my brand image of Mumsnet is sadly very low. I wouldn’t trust them with my info at all.

@MichaelMumsnet

Hi all, we've checked this again. Third parties add cookies/collect data only when you consent - they do this for reasons such as personalising ads.

The list of vendors listed in the Consent Management Platform (CMP) is curated by our advertising team - the vendors don't collect data all the time, only when they are called on to the page via the ad server.

For more information on the exact data collected, you can read the privacy policy of the vendors - you can find it on the CMP (see pic).

Ah here Michael, you cannot seriously expect me to read 150+ sets of privacy policies. Thats bonkers, and I wont. Cost benefit analysis= leave the page that asks me to do that, and go to another site, that allows me to reject all.

Do you seriously expect us to read over 150 separate privacy policies every time we have to go and reject cookies yet again?

@Chemenger

I have been asked to complete the cookie consent twice this week. I haven’t cleared my cookies or used an incognito browser.
Same for me. I have just had to go through the whole process again - it took me 158 clicks to reject all the cookies. Ridiculous. This just isn’t sustainable and I will get to the stage where I stop using the site at all if a better solution doesn’t appear soon. It’s the only site I use where a don’t have the option to ‘reject all’ on either one or two screens, and that’s it.
