They're perfectly entitled to track you as long as you don't opt out.
And when you opt out, they can't be held responsible for remembering it for even an instant, because they can't identify you.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22"
- brendoelfrendo 5y agoYeah, one website I visited recently helpfully showed me the cookies that it would save if I accepted their cookie agreement. The first one on the list was the cookie to remember my response to their cookie agreement.

- orlp 5y ago> They're perfectly entitled to track you as long as you don't opt out. This is false, GDPR is opt-in.
- vba616 5y agoIrrelephant. Since you didn't opt in, you haven't allowed them to track you, and they can't remember that you didn't opt in without tracking you. See?
- solarkraft 5y ago> They're perfectly entitled to track you as long as you don't opt out. Um ... huh? GDPR requires explicit consent.
