WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COOKIE BANNERS ARE POORLY DESIGNED?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Cookie Popups are often intentionally poorly designed and incorporate dark design patterns, sometimes allowing for the breach of user privacy. They prioritize the “Accept” button, don’t allow the “Decline” option, and some require up to 5 clicks to decline them fully and are written in website-specific wordy language.
