The problem is that you can't see what will be tracked before you choose to allow tracking. It is a bad user experience and is against the law because the user isn't making an informed choice.So Apple is punished for making anti-tracking that is easy to understand, a good experience, and actually works, compared to the EU’s which is needlessly confusing, a terrible user experience, and results in people just clicking yes to make the pop-up go away?
Sounds about right.
The way cookie consent popups work is terrible. The way that they often bury the decline all tracking behind a second screen is horrible and should be prohibited. However, the consent popups do tell the user how their data is being used before they click ok. This information is missing from Apple's implementation.
I have other complaints about the cookie consent nonsense but that's out of scope for this topic.
