Likewise, except:
* If for any reason I can't easily deny all the unnecessary stuff (eg. there isn't a way or they have something like the Daily Mail where to disable all the "legitimate interest" you have to click literally hundreds of individual boxes) I don't click anything and leave the site immediately.
* I don't do it because I can. I do it because by clicking OK I would be explicitly consenting to being tracked and I don't want to be tracked. The content is pretty much never worth it. ("It" being falsely telling people I'm fine with being tracked. I'm perfectly aware it will happen anyway.)
