This button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
Recently a pirate website for music, free-mp3-download.net got updated with this crap included. You have to toggle it off every time. All vendors separately. I took a stopwatch, it takes me around 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
Sounds friendly.
whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.
it would suck to individually reject those 797 “partners”.

To be fair, free-mp3-download.net is not a URL I would voluntarily go to. I mean seriously…
I don’t judge by domain names.
It’s also listed in the top 2 at FMHY: https://fmhy.net/audiopiracyguide#download-sites
And best site at DB0 megathread (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com): https://rentry.co/megathread-music#free-mp3-download
Give me your wallet! Can’t refuse, I have a legitimate interest
I hate this. There is nothing legitimate about it. It’s one of the biggest insults anyone ever gave me.
Or just handle “legitimate interest” (i.e. page works) client side.
Doesn’t Ghostery do that for us?
I checked Ghostery just this morning and user reviews claimed they sell your data as well.
Thanks, I’ll look into that!!!
