Yep, I paused at that also. Quite hypocritical of them to state they are "legally required" when the prompt they display isn't in compliance. The European Data Privacy Board (EDPB) has been very clear that the choice to opt out must be as easy as to opt in. Yes/No, not Yes/More Info.
But due to lax enforcement companies just keep ignoring this. Luckily it's (very) slowly changing. Even Google was recently forced to amend their practices but it took a fine of 150 million, and probably a threat of a lot more for them to finally do it. https://www.cnil.fr/en/cookies-google-fined-150-million-euros https://www.cnil.fr/en/cookies-google-fined-150-million-euro...
If anyone is interested, NOYB is doing good work to make sure companies are aware that they are breaching the GDPR, which is also very useful when it finally comes to enforcing it as they can't pretend they didn't know. If you like their work you can become a member to support them.
