This is an interesting interpretation of GDPR I have not heard before. Are you confusing it with the older cookie notification law? If not, can you explain what part of GDPR you see a popup as satisfying? I am legitimately curious, because GDPR can be quite nuanced and I may be missing something myself. Edit: I'm still trying to figure this one out. I just read a dozen articles about affirmative consent and almost every one recommends a clearly defined and unambiguous checkbox embedded in your form. I couldn't find any example that did a modal except for some mobile app examples but mobile apps would presumably not be effected by this change to how in-page popups work. The fact is, the browser does not passively collect enough PII without asking for it explicitly in a form so putting the consent also in the form is an easy choice. Again, I could be missing something. I'm hoping someone more familiar with it can clarify.
