Wow, here's a new move in the "abusive GDPR wall" game:
> We are processing your request to optin/opt-out of receiving targeted ads. Your web activity will no longer be used for targeted advertising by the companies.
> This may take up to a few minutes to process.
And indeed it does! Mine is currently stuck at an indicated 45%. Perhaps this is designed to make the user go back and try again but this time accept all the tracking.
- schroffl 8y agoI rembember the same thing on some other website I visited a few months ago, it's absolutely horrible. Imagine the face of the engineer that was told to implement this.

- lozenge 8y agoIt's sending requests to probably dozens of domains, each of which sends back new "anti-cookies" for your browser to store.
- netsharc 8y agoI just use Ghostery and hope it already blocks all trackers. Although it also has its own opt-out bullshit and a few weeks ago it "upgraded" itself to offer you coupons "related" to the site you're visiting...
