German Court Rules: Cookie Banners Must Include ‘Reject All’ Button

The judgment reinforces that websites must not nudge users into agreeing to cookies or make refusal unnecessarily difficult. Instead, the option to reject all must be as prominent and accessible as “accept all.”

The best approach is to require users to opt in to cookies, so they are not included by default but only by giving explicit consent. This is the second-best option.

I’ll take the second-best option over having to deal with 19 different toggles.
