I think this story is gold. I like the GDPR, but I think this story shows how easy it is to violate it or how difficult to follow it. In my opinion, the EU should offer reference implementations for all their 'internet' laws. If they make a law which requires privacy policies they should supply some examples (under some license which allows using them). If they create a law to let users choose if they want to be tracked, they should offer a script which does just that. Such a reference implementation would give a concrete implementation of how the law could be followed and make it easier for everyone to implement it (e.g. for themselves). Otherwise, millions of people have to interpret the law and it is painful for everyone involved: creators cannot be sure that their implementation is correct and consumers have to use illegal implementations until everybody knows how the law is meant to be implemented.
