“There is not a big deny all button right next to the accept button, but rather a configure button that makes me have then click a disable all button.”

MeriStation was reported to the Deceptive Design Tip Line over its cookie consent banner. According to the report, there is no large “deny all” button next to the accept button; instead there is a “configure” button, after which the user must click a further “disable all” button to refuse cookies.
