@gruber@mastodon.social I think there’s room for both terms. I would call the privacy policy example a dickover, and I would call this a dickpanel.
This is an increasingly common and increasingly infuriating pattern. I am already signed in. I am already engaged. I bought the subscription. STOP NAGGING ME.

@perardi@mastodon.social @gruber@mastodon.social Also, stop putting a must-select cookie dickover on the *login* page. I'm about to log in, and you (presumably) have my cookie preferences stored in my account settings. You can pick them up *without asking me* as soon as I clear the login process, which will happen sooner if I don't have to get past the cookie dickover first. If you need this because you can't do without your "partners" tracking people who hit the login page but don't log in, what are you even doing?
