  • collations that ignore the first choice are not legitimate

    Why so? Why do you assume that one party should arbitrarily be given more rights/power than others? Where does this idea come from?

    Imagine an even more extreme example. Assume the winning party had 5% of the votes and most other parties had around 4-5% of the votes. Then assume that the winning party is unable to convince any other parties to enter into a coalition with them. Should all other parties not be allowed to make a coalition to represent 95% of the voters? Should the “winning” party be allowed to block this? Why should such deadlocks be allowed? What is the argument behind this?




  • And sites are still more than happy to show those in the popup, just to muddy the waters and make it more complicated than it needs to be.

    As far as I see it, displaying information regarding strictly necessary cookies that do not require consent is good practice.

    The website linked above states that “While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.”

    I think the complicated part is mostly the deliberately bad UI that is often used for cookie banners. They purposefully use a bad layout and color scheme in an attempt to push the user to just click “Accept all”. As far as I understand if a websites only had strictly necessary cookies then I think they wouldn’t even need a cookie popup in the first place though and could simply list this information on a separate “Privacy Policy” page or such.
