Google's Revamped Cookie Banner for GDPR Compliance

Google plans to make a significant change to its cookie policy, and will include a "reject all" button in its cookie banners.

The internet giant has received a lot of criticism and fines in recent years for making it difficult for users to reject cookies and for trying to persuade them to accept them all.

A snapshot of Google's updated cookie consent popup has been made available. The new popup will initially be accessible on French YouTube, but will be rolled out universally afterwards.

However, the business claims that it intends to implement the new look across all Google services in Europe.

As you can see, the selections at the bottom of the screen are vastly different, which is more essential. Users' choices in the previous design were "I Agree" and "Customize."

If you chose "Customize," Google would direct you to a different webpage with a variety of choices. You had to click "off" three times and then accept to turn off all personalization options.

There are now three buttons thanks to the updated layout. In addition to the current buttons, a new "Reject All" button allows you to completely reject tracking with just one click.

Google acknowledges that it had to make some deeper changes to its infrastructure in order to provide customers with this basic interface. Although none of this really alters how you'll use Search or YouTube, more transparency is always welcome.
