I'm pleasantly surprised Apple backed down on well... anything. Especially this. However, macrumors has probably the most user-hostile gdpr modal I've encountered. 1. I used it on my android device. The modal popped up, I gave it several seconds to load in, everything seemed stable, I go to tap the settings dialog and... up jumps the modal and registers a click on the accept button. 2. Want to go fix it after the fact? Go to the footer, find the privacy link, find the link in the middle of the policy, now you get the desktop modal on the site. 3. Everything shows consent default off, so all good right? Nope. Expand out the toggles and you'll see under the "Personalised ads" a set of more granular toggles. 4. So toggle them off and you're good, right? Nope, each of them you need to tap into and get to a new screen. This new screen has two modals, one for consent, and one defaulted in for legitimate interest. One screen per sub modal, and the only way to go back to get to the others is to click "Back" in the top left, which leaves you at the root of the flow. I have seen this particular modal on or two other sites, and finding yet another layer to bury the controls in seems to be a new "innovation" in this regard. Hopefully they're one of the sites targeted by noyb's enforcement complaints.
