This. I also found the Daily Mail decided that if you ignored the banner asking for consent and scrolled far enough down the page, it assumed consent for everything. Definitely shady, probably illegal.
- r3bl 8y agoGDPR requires affirmative action for consent. This was specifically touched upon in the recital 32: > Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her, such as by a written statement, including by electronic means, or an oral statement. This could include ticking a box when visiting an internet website, choosing technical settings for information society services or another statement or conduct which clearly indicates in this context the data subject’s acceptance of the proposed processing of his or her personal data. Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent.
