That‘s what I thought. I just started a prolonged burnout vacation. How do I hold them accountable / sue them? I will look it up.

- Nextgrid 4y agoYou can't sue them. That's the reason so many non-compliant consent flows are out there, and entire businesses have been built on providing them as a service. The best you can do is to complain to your country's data protection agency (in the UK this would be the ICO, in France the CNIL, etc). The problem is that they aren't enforcing the regulation enough to deter non-compliance. It's cheaper (in fact, free most of the time, the worst you will get is be asked to get into compliance despite breaching the regulation for years) to breach it for as long as you can than to respect it.

How long this takes depends on the problem and the capacity for the DPA. If Google or Facebook are involved in a new data sharing scheme, their cases will get priority over a website not setting cookies right.
- drstewart 4y agoIs there somewhere I can bet money on this not happening? Anyone who has to ask whether something is allowed or not and then how they can "sue" based on the one line comment to their question they couldn't be bothered to search for isn't suing anyone. Enjoy your vacation.
