At least they are (forced to be) honest ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like the rest of the wording, too. They'd like to process arbitrary data from the device. And third parties act out of their own motivation as long as it is their legitimate interest...
Use 'REJECT ALL'.
REJECT ALL button doesn't often work as you'd expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called "legitimate interest" option. The only way to be sure is to click "manage preferences" and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you'll see "object all" in there, but you will find notice that some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
Hehe, keep up spreading that important info 💪✌️. Most people aren't aware and this practice should be illegal. Reject ALL... Every word they say is just a fucking lie.
That's why I reject all in Firefox settings along with wiping everything at close
I guess 'Reject All' means just 'reject all of the above', and there are are additional terms that are binding, they just spared you from handling those with this popup, or why is that kind of thing legal?
