But the laws do allow this. It's illegal to make the user experience worse if you decline tracking, or to make it harder to decline tracking than to accept it, but it's not illegal to annoy the user on every page load.


> illegal to make the user experience worse

> not illegal to annoy the user on every page load

This looks like a contradiction to me.


> if you decline tracking

please read the second half of the clause, kthx


Wait you're saying that the websites in question ask for your consent on every page load even if you give it to them? I was under the impression that they typically pester you for consent until you give it to them, then remember your choice once you "consent"


This is true by default, even before you decline the tracking. The two choices, consent and no consent, must be equally possible.


OP loves to claim how almost everything is illegal and then not give any useful sources when asked.
