When I click the link to this article all I see is a terms and conditions document which I don't agree to. I should not have to sacrifice privacy just to read a public web page.
The content pasted below for those who can't see it / already agreed it:

- thecatspaw 8y ago> To avoid personalized advertising based on your mobile app activity, you can install the DAA’s AppChoices app here. this is ridiculous. Is this even GDPR compliant?
- krageon 8y agoNo, because this is opt-out behaviour. It needs to be opt-in: To avoid personalised advertising, your actions required should be "none". It should work like that by default.
- peterjmag 8y agoAgreed, that's obnoxious.
