  • While you’re right conceptually, this isn’t what the wording means in terms of consent dialogs. Legitimate interest means they can assume, legitimately, that you have an interest in aspects of the site (by you being there) that require X cookies, basically. Ie their product is providing functionality they can assume you’re interested in just by being there, and they’re “pre approving” the tracking/storage for that functionality.

    I concur that it’s rubbish and used almost always in a manner that reeks of illegitimacy.



  • Have been running my main box off the same USB for a couple of years without issue. Decided to not boot again after restarting today… wouldn’t even show up on another machine.

    I’ve never had one fail on me so it was a new experience. Didn’t like having to log my box into lime-tech but it seems it was required. At least the license exchange went someone easily and then it decided it had to do a parity check so I’m offline for even longer. Thankfully I had a backup of the USB from only a few days prior… good lesson right here!
