Their cookie allow dialog has over 700 data share partners, not including their own "legitimate interest" cookies. The dialog looks like this [1] and cannot be resized and is lazy loaded (i.e. you have to manually scroll to have the page load all of them with a few visible each scroll). And its slow so it takes a while and doesn't play well with the mouse in the iframe. There are even ones not in english or latin characters [2]
