not-even-mad.jpg Funny enough he went through the trouble to make sure tabbing works, and that the bottom url indicator is readable. If you tab to "Define Settings" you can in fact disable analytics, and "Accept All" changes to "Accept".
You can also click "reject" in the text to reject the cookies.
The only cookies of this website are (and no local storage or anything): cc_hide_prompt:"1", which is there for the cookie prompt itself to function, and: cc_accepted_providers:"analytics,dummy_group_1", which doesn't contain any other info than that, no unique tracking codes Why is this web developer even adding cookies at all here, given that there doesn't seem to be anything of value in them (unless the dummy grou…

I think it's a glitch / unintentional. First, hover over the buttons. Then try widening your browser window from 800px to 1600px in chrome. Then back down to 800px. Do it slowly. You'll see that button position swap regardless whether you hover or not. Also, it doesn't happen in smaller viewport.
funnyButton() {
document.addEventListener("mouseover", e => {
if (e.target.closest(".chefcookie__button--settings")) {
if (window.innerWidth {
this.funnyButtonAnimation = !1
}, 550)
}
}), document.addEventListener("click", e => {
e.target.closest(".chefcookie__button--settings") && (this.funnyButtonStop = !0)
})

I don’t understand your complaint. This is just like every newspaper website, just slightly more obvious about what they want to make you do. Heck, the “manage cookies” button isn’t in some tiny, unreadable pale gray, so this is probably a less tricky design than most.
What exactly moves? I'm looking at the banner at the top, and nothing moves when I hover over the "Define settings" or "Accept all" buttons, or any of the text links in the banner (in Chrome, Linux). Edit: turns out it only swaps under some conditions, according to the prettied code here [1]. One of those conditions is having a touch screen, which my laptop does.

It moves the button for me in Chrome. Do you have javascript disabled?

Likely just a demonstration of this quirk for fun, and I imagine it's good conversation for interviews in case the interviewer took a look at their website beforehand.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I take it some aren't seeing the button move out from under them, like a deceptive trick. JavaScript disabled? I can assure, every other newspaper site doesn't do this.

Made me chuckle, though. And to be fair there is an option to "Decline Cookies" - which doesn't move.
