For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
That isn't real. It wouldn't pass peer review. Here is the actual code:
function GetCookieValue(x) {
return JSON.stringify(x);
}
user.cookies.agreed = Boolean(GetCookieValue(true));
if(!DarkPatternPopup()) {
// Make sure we respect the user choice
user.cookies.agreed = Boolean(GetCookieValue(false));
}
if(user.cookies.agreed) CollectData(user);
Don't need an if, just set the variable and collect the data. Saved you a jump instruction. The compiler is going to optimize it out anyway, but simpler code is better and some people forget the -O flag.
Yeah but the last requires you to explicitly distinguish between the two cases.
The only problem with the code I see is that the first 3 lines are not needed.
we've updated our terms of service, you're now opted in to everything, good luck!
And
Yes, you unsubscribed from that mailing list, but before you did we went and put your name down for 575 new email lists which you have not unsubscribed from.
Unsubscribing from this mailing list automatically signs you up for this other identical mailing list
Excuse me, that else should be elseif( user.region != 'eu' )
No then they just don't show you that they have your data...
elseif( user.region = 'eu' ){ SecretlyCollectData(user)}
Would be neat if Google got caught with a GDPR violation, the max fine is 4% of your global revenue, which for Google would be 12.2 billion.
So far the biggest has been Meta who was hit for 1.2 billion.
Google: "Haha, hahaha, no."
