seriously can websites stop trying to claim "we respect your privacy"

if your website does any of the following, you do not respect my privacy:

  2. require more than one click to reject all non-essential cookies
  3. call personalized advertising a "feature"
  4. call telemetry "help improve our site"
  5. have a "do not sell my personal information" link anywhere
  6. require the person to live in california to use that link
