What was 'explained' to me stems from people who haven't read the GDPR and/or who do not understand the terms used.
- scrollaway 8y agoYou have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Slate is doing. Slate is not saying "You can only access this if you give us consent". There's a few media sites that do that, and they're not breaking the law. No, Slate is saying "You can totally opt out... look...", and not following the proper opt-out rules.
- ElBarto 8y agoI understand what they are doing and it is fine. The hard opt out is not to consent and to navigate away from the site. That's fine. The second opt out is to withdraw consent. Obviously this means that you consent but are free to withdraw your consent as a later date. Which is what the GDPR requires, and that's also fine.
