MODERATORS
The default should always be “no”. The user has to opt in.
The law specifically says not to do the super complex dark pattern deny every 3rd part cookie manually by hand - crap.
The problem is that it’s not enforced
The user often needs to click through several steps to say no
And that’s exactly against both the spirit and the letter of the law. They need to enforce it.
