I thought all the cookie popups that don't have Allow all, Deny all and Customize options were all illegal by default. So many of them have huge ALLOW ALL and denying is hidden in submenu where you need to uncheck 50 entires one by ond. Why it took them so damn long?
Also for 700+ companies to fester on anyone's browsing data is just vomit inducing and should be illegal.
