Works as intended.
The enshittification continues.
No it didn’t, he waited the entire length of 30 seconds. They need to crank that up to 30 minutes!
“Opt out please”
NO OPT OUT, FUCK YOU!
“We will notify you by letter when your request to block cookies has gone through and been validated by our manager”
Please enter your name and shipping address so we can send you the opt-out letter receipt.

Be realistic. They would just go full gym membership level.
Opt in, single click instant.
Opt out, signed certified hand-delivered notarised letter requesting opt out. Please allow 260 working days to process.
They’re lying. They are such awful people that they forced some engineer to make a fake progress tracker, and introduce a timeout to the script to waste your time for opting out. My guess is that they’re hoping next time they “forget” your preferences and present you with the same choice, you’ll decide not to waste time with the opt out and just accept everything. Scumbag managers.
One hundred percent this. Source, am lifelong engineer.
If it were a really major site I’d say it’s polling an event log for confirmation from all the other subscribing services that they’ve processed the removal request.
But this is some local TV station’s website so that doesn’t make sense unless they’ve massively over engineered it.
I don’t think they’re allowed to do these fake loading screens in the EU
PS: in the settings of uBlock Origin, you can select a cookie banner blocker. This gets rid of 99.99% of cookie banners ✨ (there’re also options against newsletter boxes).
9 of 10 hacker kittens recommend this 🌸😸Cookie banners that block most of the page also not allowed, but regulations are not enforced, and companies always find loopholes to block their content with annoying cookies banners
There’s loads of cookie-related things that aren’t allowed in the EU, it’s a shame nobody really seems to be doing anything about it. I still see non-compliant cookie consent screens all the time here, even on bigger, more well-known websites.
You should report those, because I guarantee that someone is doing something about it.
Keep in mind that companies outside of the EU that don’t reasonably expect to have many visitors from the EU, if at all, might not be held to the same standards as websites that obviously operate in the be EU. We aren’t the police of the internet, we can only tell EU countries what to do, so if you browse the American internet for example, you can’t expect to have the same level of privacy as the European web.
Oh yeah those cookie prompts are like mini-games to access the content. Some on them, you can’t even win!
“Accept all” or “Click away to a totally different page, select a bunch of items, confirm. Get directed to the homepage which is not where you wanted to be.”
