Yeah, lots of pages are trying to pull that stunt, which isn’t legal according to the GDPR. Facebook and many news outlets are trying it too.

I filed a complaint about Facebook with my local data protection agency, which agreed and forwarded the case to Ireland. Well see whether Ireland conforms to the GDPR.

CNIL (French privacy body) ruled that it was legal except for government websites. A lot of French newspapers do it.

Wow… How did they argue that consent was still “freely given”? And also that it is “as easy” to give as it is to withdraw consent?

Relevant quotes:

Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

They say it’s legal, as it is a viable alternative to tracking, but has to be a reasonable amount.
