> The problem is that most websites simply aren’t compliant. They choose to make a mockery of the law by offering a skewed choice: Typically a super simple opt-in (to hand them all your data) vs a highly confusing, frustrating, tedious opt-out (and sometimes even no reject option at all).

Like the Techcrunch site where this was published.



And it's not possible to change/withdraw consent after allowing it. I've searched 5 minutes and found no link or widget that would get me to that screen.


I know right?! I went there and met by a giant wall of GDPR bullshit without a button to say "no", buttons grayed out but clickable, multiple page scroll down to reach the desired opt out, default everything off on the first page, but default as you went further... prime example all the way.

At one point in the process I got worried that the GDPR popup is itself whats posted and not an article.
