Oh god the terms and condition ultra slow scroll got me to close the page. This is brilliant.

The cookie approval dialogue was quite snappy though. Better than most implementations I've seen. Didn't reload the page. Didn't display a large spinner once you made a choice.

"Holding ALT to scroll faster is cheating and not allowed." This is interesting, since ALT + scrollwheel on Firefox is supposed to move forward and backward in your page history, but in the terms and conditions, it helps you scroll at normal speed.

I like the chat help interface. It's almost as good as Asus', which I had the misfortune to be trying to use yesterday.

https://www.asus.com/uk/

It's genius. It's got a little "online services" icon with a friendly smiley face with a microphone and headphones.

You click on it, expecting an interactive chat but what you actually get is a photo of someone smiling hugely with headphones on and a laptop open, and a sidebar where you can search their inadequate help documents.

I'm glad it's a parody or it would be really insulting.

Seriously? There's tons of stuff missing, at the very least a cookie banner ("we value your privacy not ") and "aw, snap, we're having probs to bla blah blah" and social media icons. Also, it's known that call-to-actions must come in a group of three, and have cute vectors. See [1] on how to do a website. [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/comments/9pmqxb/typical_...

I actually got a cookie banner, of course with the close button hard to find.

Yet the site of the people who made this (Bagaar) does not have a privacy banner but happily contacts Google Analytics, DoubleClick, HotJar and HubSpot.
