What exactly moves? I'm looking at the banner at the top, and nothing moves when I hover over the "Define settings" or "Accept all" buttons, or any of the text links in the banner (in Chrome, Linux).

Edit: turns out it only swaps under some conditions, according to the prettied code here [1]. One of those conditions is having a touch screen, which my laptop does.

When I hover over the "Define settings" button, it swaps with the other button.

To me, all this cookie consent is just a stupid game. This one is at least fun.

My laptop doesn't have a touch screen (M1 Air with Safari), and "Define Settings" moves when I go for it. So that check is either wrong or misleading.

Made me chuckle, though. And to be fair there is an option to "Decline Cookies" - which doesn't move.

Same for me. I tried it on both Opera and Firefox (Linux desktop).

I'm also using Chrome, and when I hover over "define settings" it swaps positions with "accept all"

The "Accept All" button moves when I hover over "Define Settings" but it's a bit flaky.

It moves the button for me in Chrome. Do you have javascript disabled?

I do not. They animate (fading a little bit), but they don't swap, even after a bunch of page reloads. Turns out the swap is disabled if you have a touch screen.

Do you have JS diabled? For me they animate and swap.
