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?
