Most implementations either load the tracking scripts after you click the button or hold back certain actions like cookies and network requests until you consent. Enforcement isn't as strict as it could be, but good enough that it mostly works

- hnbad 2y agoIf they use the consent modal to gather data about you when you try to "opt out", they're already deliberately violating the law more than they would by simply not having that banner. We're not talking about something that will take your foot off or something dangerous with safeties. But if you want gruesome analogies this is more like hiding razorblades underneath a safety seal warning about the package having sharp edges.
