I have also see some sites that are also using a pattern where you either accept their tracking of you or you can't use the site at all, they just block the content or send you to a useless site. That isn't legal either, consent has to be something people actively give and not giving it can't be a reason to reject service. Quite a lot of gyms are getting this wrong in regards fignerprints, they don't get to force that mechanism on you and deny you access if you wont provide it.
When the legislation first came in I reported about 100 websites that were breaking the law in obvious ways, they are still like that and the ICO hasn't even responded to those complaints.
