The consent is invalid if it is harder to reject consent than give it. Another thing, the consent must be opt in. What they are offering is opt out. I will post recitals, when I get home, searching on phone is annoying. Anyway, I boycott TC since they started their war on users.

Ok, back at my keyboard <3 Prequel, website owners, android developers,... PLEASE, please, check this video. You will more or less understand everything you need to know about GDPR. GDPR event London 2017 - with Tim Walters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-stjktAu-7k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-stjktAu-7k I think that someone is earning large bucks to trick different websites into believing that they can avoid GDPR by simple tricks while on the other side owners are just too lazy to read simple interpretations made by Article 29 Data Protection Working Party (no, it does not matter what your lawyer thinks if it contradicts recitals). I would call it a scam but I think that some enlightment must be pushed in place: https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/just/document.cfm?doc_id=48849 https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/just/document.cfm?doc_id=48849 (page 16): "Without prejudice to existing (national) contract law, consent can be obtained through a recorded oral statement, although due note must be taken of the information available to the data subject, prior to the indication of consent. The use of pre-ticked opt-in boxes is invalid under the GDPR. Silence or inactivity on the part of the data subject, as well as merely proceeding with a service cannot be regarded as an active indication of choice." (page 21): "Article 7(3) of the GDPR prescribes that the controller must ensure that consent can be withdrawn by the data subject as easy as giving consent and at any given time. The GDPR does not say that giving and withdrawing consent must always be done through the same action. However, when consent is obtained via electronic means through only one mouse-click, swipe, or keystroke, data subjects must, in practice, be able to withdraw that consent equally as easily."

  is this “equally easy” criterion met by a site that says “hi! we don't know each other yet, but you can't procede until you've either pressed the 'accept' button or found the 'manage options' link, worked evert oh good you're bored now thanks for clicking” and then never shows it again, so i don't really know where i would go to manage consent. i don't see why companies can't just behave like decent human beings. why do they want me to not trust them?
