>>109457542That is how I interpreted it as well.I was also confused.
>>109457279>62 vendorsdefault new tab in chromium edge has like 800+ 'legitimate interest' partners, and forces you to deny all on them every time you open your browser

>>109457279>>109457589>legitimate>In accordance with the law or established legal forms and requirements

>>109457279Basically they have a valid reason to use the cookiesThere are three cookie types usuallyessential (holds shit like login info, ie use these or the site breaks), legitimate interest, everything else with consent (opt in)LI are basically tracking cookies but the validation is 'these are advertising companies so they have a reason to need them' vs the consent opt in, like tracking on the website itself by its own partiesOr to put it simply: consent = you have to actively agree to being raped but you might or might not be raped. LI means by default, since the rapists enjoy raping, you must actively say 'no' or else you will be raped
is there a script that denies automatically all these things? because omg
