That first one should be punishable by flogging. Also the second one, but the first one is a very common strategy for opting you in to things you explicitly opted out of, and I’m pretty sure it’s illegal.

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);PoV 3 seconds before eu fucks you in the ass without lube.
The only problem with the code I see is that the first 3 lines are not needed.
