If you click the "view details" there's a list of over 500 (!) cookies that you must consent to, with hundreds of companies, and not even an opt-out. Blatantly non compliant with GDPR, can't wait for the first warnings and fines to be served on these types of websites.

If the site isn’t offering any paid services to EU citizens how will the EU fine them?
- Maarten88 8y ago
  You are seeing it wrong. Many of hose marketing companies are selling to European advertisers. So of course they have paid European customers. I am their product, and what they do with my data is illegal. How they'll be fined is another matter, of course. But let me say that as a EU citizen, I would not dare violate US law in any mayor way. And they do mention GDPR in their privacy statement (even if they lie about compliance) which is hopeful.

Oh boy. I suspect “This website isn’t GDPR compliant!” will join the ranks of classic Hacker News rant comments like “Piping curl to bash is insecure!“, “Why does this website hijack my scrolling / autoplay videos / use 150% of my CPU?”, etc.

  These kinds of small rants play their small part in ensuring that the world stays in equilibrium. If no one complained, sites would use 800% of the CPU by now, every install procedure would be completely insecure and autoplay would become mandatory. Probably.

I find interesting the "classification" of those cookies: Necessary (31) Preferences (15) Statistics (63) Marketing (356) Unclassified (145) Setting aside GDPR and any related privacy concerns, the numbers are IMHO impressive, and probably a good representation of how much on a site is "content" (Necessary+Preferences) and how much is "overlays" (all the rest). Of course the big question are the "Unclassified" ones, particularly because they are described as "in the process of classifying", I mean, you add stuff to your site before deciding what they are? (it's not like 1 or 2 added recently, it's 145 of them).
