The reality is that most people don't want to be tracked: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/07/facebook-advertisers-are-panicking-after-ios-cuts-off-key

  I've stopped going to Ars Technica exactly because their cookie pop-up lets me know that Condé Nast wants to share my data with at least (according to the popup) 159 partners. They have so many "partners" that their cookie popup comes with a search bar. 56 of their "partners" want my precise geolocation data! 16 "partners" want to actively scan my device! 101 "partners" want to "match and combine data from other data sources" (I can't disable or object to this) 102 "partners" want to identify my device. I also can't object to this. The only way I can really object is to close the tab, so that's what I do.

      Legally no, they can't store his data if he doesn't click yes.

        Considering their consent banner isn't legal under GDPR anyway, I'd be wary of expecting them to be compliant with that either.

  The problem is that most people don't want to pay for any of the internet services they use either.

    Great, then maybe we can all finally go outside and smell the damn roses.

    Any internet services that are unable to secure funding without abusing their users are welcome to stop existing.
