      First thing you usually check when you live in Europe: where is the "Reject" button? #DarkPattern 🧐 2/

        If you have time or if you are a privacy activist, you may click on "Settings" (most users will just click on "Accept"). Then the yellow color code is super confusing: are analytical & marketing cookies "On" by default? #DarkPattern 🤯 3/

          Now if you click on "Accept recommended cookies" and do not alter the other toggles which are in fact "Off", you will be monitored by Google and Facebook 😜 "Recommended cookies" ≠ "Essential cookies" And @amnesty recommends Google & Facebook "invasive monitoring" 😈 4/

            So where is the reject button (bis)? It's in fact the little cross next to the settings button... Note the misleading message from @amnesty: "We have placed cookies on your device to help make this website better. You can use this tool to change your cookie settings." 🤪 5/
