No, I think they're being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.
- We value your privacy (in a twisted way)
- Our company's value (increases with access to) your privacy
Or the idea of the title and text was to create a paradox like: The following statement is true. // The preceding statement is false.
At least they are (forced to be) honest ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like the rest of the wording, too. They'd like to process arbitrary data from the device. And third parties act out of their own motivation as long as it is their legitimate interest...
Use 'REJECT ALL'.
REJECT ALL button doesn't often work as you'd expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called "legitimate interest" option. The only way to be sure is to click "manage preferences" and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you'll see "object all" in there, but you will find notice that some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
I guess 'Reject All' means just 'reject all of the above', and there are are additional terms that are binding, they just spared you from handling those with this popup, or why is that kind of thing legal?
There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can't get an "informed consent" from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.
