The HRAcuity website uses a dark pattern by forcing users to accept cookies in order to access a video.

HRAcuity was documented by hallofshame.design over a cookie wall on its website. The article describes how the site requires users to accept cookies in order to access a video, even though the content is a regular embedded YouTube video that typically does not require cookies. The article says the design prevents users from watching the video unless they accept cookies.
