I generally reject all. Then check for those sneaky sites that keep "legitimate interest" cookies ticked. I really doubt their idea of legitimate and my idea of legitimate align in any way.
It's kinda funny that they're "legitimate interest", as that infers that the other ones aren't legitmate.
I have no idea how an ad servicing company I have never heard of could have a legitimate interest in my online activities.
They have an interest, but it isn't in your best interest.
The same way certain people have a 'legitimate' interest in the jewelry in your house.
