The results explain why I keep running into Oath (and Q..something) popups that only present a single button "Confirm" to give consent, with minimal information on what that means. There's usually a de-emphasized link to change the hidden consent settings, with a hundred checkboxes, all on by default. It's downright insulting and malicious.
Choices (visible):
- No option (27.8%)
- Confirmation with no opt-out (68%)
- Binary (3.2%)
So ~96% of websites sampled are not GDPR compliant, inadvertently or intentionally.
I agree with the conclusion of the study:
"The business model of online behavioral advertising, which targets ads based on large amounts of personal data, should be challenged, and alternative models like privacy-friendly contextual advertising or other ways of monetization for web services need to be developed."
