Ars Technica is not much better. Here are the "always active" non-choices from their own GDPR pop-up ("Powered by OneTrust"). That is to say, you cannot opt-out of these:
Match and combine offline data sources: Always Active
Link different devices: Always Active
Receive and use automatically-sent device characteristics for identification: Always Active
Ensure security, prevent fraud, and debug: Always Active
Technically deliver ads or content: Always Active
If you don't open their "show purposes" window and "Confirm my choices" from that window, then you are also agreeing to:
Store and/or access information on a device
Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development
Use precise geolocation data
Actively scan device characteristics for identification
