| Jun 6 at 13:04 | comment | added | Gimby | It's such a disconnect between different sites too. Some times throw up a half a screen wall of text with a hundred sliders on it, and other sites just say "we use cookies, m'kay?" | |
| Jun 6 at 11:00 | comment | added | Dalija Prasnikar Mod | No matter from where you access the sites cookie banner is just too huge and badly positioned. Also necessary cookies only button is a lie as it includes unnecessary permissions for vendors. Google login popup absolutely needs to go away, as well as home page configuration which is not stored unless you make an account. | |

| Jun 5 at 18:00 | comment | added | VLAZ | @Dharman so that if you visit a question (say, from a search engine) you will be up to date with the latest developments on the site. Trivial things like, say, the text of the question and/or answers is surely not as important, hence the popup covers it up. | |
| Jun 5 at 17:57 | comment | added | Dharman Mod | Why does it show up a popup with what's new for people who are new to the site? | |

| Jun 5 at 16:30 | comment | added | Anon Coward | Yeah, that's what the site looks like to an EU visitor. Visitors in the US get a slightly less stupid cookie banner. | |

| Jun 5 at 16:12 | comment | added | user400654 | For me, the consent box is far smaller, and the google sign in doesn't pop up. it seems fairly reasonable, as far as what I was presented. Though i would argue indicating that there's a new thing in the side bar to someone who isn't signed in and hasn't been here before (aka has no cookies) that something is new is kinda hitting the wrong audience and is unnecessary. So is all the "new" indicators on those links. We shouldn't be highlighting things that can't be dismissed because the user isn't signed in. | |

| Jun 5 at 15:37 | comment | added | TylerH | the "sign in with google" modal should just be removed from the entire codebase of the entire internet. Let users sign in with google if they want, on the sign-in page, but never prompt them about it with a modal. God how annoying. Google should be hit with an antitrust lawsuit for that behavior/code. | |

I could have known that if I had read the fine print on the tag selection part of this dialog, but well that's not an excuse to require this." status-bait-and-switch-by-design (see experiment 4) | |
