in a really basic nutshell, recent changes to data protection in the eu means tumblr has to get explicit permission to process eu data in certain ways, as well as seperate consent to sending your data to third party advertisers/third parties in general. in essence, eu citizens have now been given a lot more control on where their data goes and how it is used. because you are not in the eu, your data is treated the same as it always has - as in, your data can be sent to third parties for personalized advertisements and so forth, and US data law does not require the website to tell you exactly where it will be going or how those third parties will use it.

Tumblr’s at it again, thanks to the new European Privacy Laws. There’s probably nobody who will read this, but it pissed me off so much that I decided to make a post about it. (Ignore the weird language mish-mash, depending on your country the language might differ.)

OK, so many of us get this screen when we try to access our dash:

Realise how the ‘OK’ button is a nice, attention-grabbing blue? If you’re like me, you’re not exactly into reading a 100 pages document and tend to just click it.

My tip? DONT. Instead click on ‘Manage Options’ right next to it:

Now you’ll see this page:

Still pretty harmless, right? That ‘Accept’ button is looking really attractive right now. Instead, click on Verwalten (Probably something like ‘Manage Options’ or something in english) and you’ll get to this page:

Now that’s not too bad, right? I just switched all the buttons to ‘off’, because I’m jealously guarding my personal information and don’t want Tumblr to go off and do who knows what with it. Looks like we’re done! But wait: There’s a SHOW option.

When we click on that one, what we will get is this:

A HUGE list with OVER 300 ENTRIES of companies that can use your data by default if you’d just clicked ‘OK’ on that very first page. Coincidence that this list is hidden that much? Me thinks not. They’re all switched on by default, but I am still a petty bitch that doesn’t want to give out her data, so I switched them all off. All 300+ of them. There is no option to switch them all off at once, and even if you disable all the options above, the companies are still switched on.

also: if youre on a laptop and aiming at every single checkbox and clicking it is tiring you, you might try clicking on the first check box and then continuously doing this combo
