    I personally have never seen a pay to reject. What types of websites have you come across that do that? I’m genuinely curious.

      A lot of news sites! Let me see if I can find one.

      I’m pretty sure I saw it on Autosport earlier today. Just opened it in Chrome (ew) – see screenshot!

      Edit: reading the popup, I assume the legal loophole is that you technically CAN revoke consent after accepting, without paying, by visiting a whole separate page and doing it there. Ultra scummy!

        Oh! Ok. I was under the impression the verbiage had the word Reject in it somewhere; that’s on me. It makes much more sense now, and I get what you’re saying. Thanks for the clarification!

          I actually do think I’ve seen variations in this wording over the course of a few months. I’m going to go digging around sites I think are probably less scrupulous to see if I can find examples.

          Boom, gotcha. First absolute rag that came to mind. Check it!

          Edit: also it’s totally on me that you thought the word Reject was in there - I put it in quotes and then provided an example that didn’t contain it, sorry! 😂
