        No. Most of the time there is a Accept all button, but a Manage button and then another popup where you have to uncheck everything and then Save. Pretty annoying, especially on mobile

          You are both correct, the law states that it has to be as easy to opt out as in, but most companies are not implementing it correctly

            Yeah, they “accidentally” did it completely wrong because fuck the customers and the law.

            Yeah, California is supposed to have a “Do Not Track” option. I’ve hardly ever seen it.

              Do Not Track is a browser setting. You enable it in your browser settings for all websites. All it does is ask the website to please “not track” you. Most sites of course don’t even check for the setting.

              The law in California is just that the privacy policy must clearly state if / how the site is honoring Do Not Track, not that it must be presented to you as an option or even actually honored at all.

          Yes annoying and also not allowed. You can tell your data protection agency which site is doing it and they will investigate.
