    How do they break the law? The opt-in forces them to ask you first and that’s what the annoying banners do. Sites that don’t care about tracking also don’t show these pop-ups.

      The default should always be “no”. The user has to opt in.

      The law specifically says not to do the super complex dark pattern deny every 3rd part cookie manually by hand - crap.

      The problem is that it’s not enforced

          And that’s exactly against both the spirit and the letter of the law. They need to enforce it.
