YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

If you don't click on yes. You haven't given your consent
In the US, it's the opposite. The way the law is written, you have to OPT out. So they're collecting the moment you land.
I've set up a bunch of these cookie banners for US businesses. You can choose if you follow the EU version, or the CCPA version.
Fortunately my VPN usually exits from Europe. The internet default to being less of a dick this way
Wouldn't really matter for most sites hosted in America. American businesses do not have to comply unless they have EU customers.
International sites like YouTube absolutely has some system that will switch the cookie tracking depending on geo location, from CCPA to GDPR.
But American sites don't really gaf. Small News site in America, unless they're paying for a fancy Cookie Consent Management tool, is doing it the US way and it's opt out, regardless of where you're coming from.
For example: if Kansas News site gets a warning from the EU about cookies, they're not going to care. They don't have the budget, and honestly, easier to just block all IPs from outside the US.
If you hate this, stop using American products and services. (And I say this as a privacy concerned American)
"legally"
Remember when Trump told EU companies to stop DEI policies and EU laughed? It goes both ways.
If you don't click any of the options and simply block the pop-up, it commonly breaks the site. Doesn't matter what's ethically right, you have to be practical.
Where have you experienced this?
Countless sites and I'm not keeping track because I visit more than a few sites and not always recurringly. Typically, the page is frozen and I have to disable cookie consent blocker to decline and then be able to use the website. Are you seriously saying you've never encountered this?
Correct. Usually when I just delete a js modal asking me some bullshit, the website works fine.
Seriously. I see comments like this all the time but no examples.
Just the idea that a developer would care so much to create something like "If user doesn't consent, ruin their experience".
