Ask HN: What percentage of users click 'Reject All'?

28 pointsby MarkMcalmost 3 years ago
When requesting use of personal data on websites it&#x27;s becoming standard now to have an &#x27;Accept All&#x27; and &#x27;Reject All&#x27;.<p>If you run a website, what percentage of uses click &#x27;Accept All&#x27; and what percentage click &#x27;Reject All&#x27;?

I click on reject all, if there is no reject all button i do click details and if i don&#x27;t find a way to turn off everything on the first details page I close the site unread.<p>Also, if your popup says &quot;we care about your privacy&quot; please remove that lie. If you cared about my privacy you wouldn&#x27;t track me.

Our stats for heyklaro.com are public [1], the acceptance rate is around 50 %. We&#x27;ve always had a dialog with one-click Accept &#x2F; Reject flow, even before it became officially mandated. We see similar rates for our customers.<p>1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;heyklaro.com&#x2F;demo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;heyklaro.com&#x2F;demo</a>

I have been conditioned to click &quot;accept all&quot; because at some point clicking &quot;reject all&quot; almost always lead me to a page saying that I can&#x27;t use the site without cookies. I don&#x27;t think this is as universal anymore but I haven&#x27;t de-conditioned myself yet.

I generally will manually set it to minimum<p>Too often &#x27;reject all&#x27; doesn&#x27;t do what it leads you to believe. I don&#x27;t have incentive to allow any of it<p>Edit: It&#x27;s often a ruse anyway. Either changing nothing or not working until you reload, if I remember correctly

I always press reject all, and if it doesn&#x27;t let me use the site I find a different one normally

I have made it a personal philosphy to close any site which hassles me one of these, and the same for sign up for our newsletter.<p>I have noticed that the quality of material I read has gone up in the process.

A lot of those prompts make it annoying to use &#x27;reject all&#x27; so I have developed muscle memory for slapping a bookmarklet that just removes all sticky elements from the page.

Of course, the pop-up cookies are annoying, and I could say I don&#x27;t think about them at all.<p>Most of the time, I click the first thing that comes up. However, I have noticed that this only happens on trusted sites.<p>On sites I don&#x27;t know, I prefer to either close the window or &quot;reject all.&quot; But how it pisses me off!

My ad-blocker takes care of the majority of these, but if some slip through I will do my best to find the &quot;reject all&quot; option or navigate away if it isn&#x27;t there. It&#x27;s unlikely to show up in metrics though because whatever is supposed to collect those metrics would be blocked anyway.

I get cookie rage. Some I already know to click details and immediately save for a minimal default. Some I randomly select whatever, some I accept. Then I get asked the same from the same site the next day. I hate this so much that I get desensitized to all forms of tracking.

I use Temporary Containers on Firefox, so the cookies are deleted after I am done anyway.<p>I always click Accept All to make it go away, if I didn&#x27;t have the uBlock filter that blocks the popups altogether.

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.super-agent.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.super-agent.com&#x2F;</a> does it for me automatically, snout 80% of the time.

I don&#x27;t care, I click on whatever gets the popup away<p>Accept generally works better, sometimes you get more crap when you reject. Oftentimes you can&#x27;t even find reject very easily

When it&#x27;s too hard to disable cookies, I just disable JavaScript and it works 80 % of time, + it often free up the space on the page.

I do most of the time but I should probably just use some extension to hide the popups or just block cookies in general

I generally switch to firefox &lt;readability mode&gt;.<p>It helpfully removes both the popup and the tracking.

Is there a browser or extension that selects &#x27;Reject All&#x27; for me?

It&#x27;s probably just me, and even I don&#x27;t have a 100% success rate.
