> “By navigating this website, you agree to our privacy policy” Where is the consent button? And what in the actual ef? What should one do if they click before

  This is illegal under GDPR. It is unclear what this even means. I mean yeah sure: If I surf your site you're gonna apply your sites privacy rules, no surprise there — but they still should allow me to go away if I don't want this or don't trust them. The surprise however is that the privacy rules is a damned PDF that you are expected to download and open? No thanks. If that is how privacy conscious people are treated I will pass. 1) Not giving me the choice to know what I should agree to beforehand and making agreement implicit is not cool. 2) Making it hard to read the rules is a no go (the rules should be on the site itself) 3) Is the tracking/data collection important enough to deface a site? I don't collect anything on my own sites and don't use cookies beyond what is technically needed, which is why I don't have to ask for consent. The rough serverside access stats are totally enough for me and AFAIK they don't fall under GDPR as long as it is just aggregate numbers. If you really want to do cookie based tracking and stuff, why not just make it a yes/no choice? Stuff like this is about branding as well. If the first thing you tell your potential visitors is that they have no choice you are hurting your own communications.
