    When there is a "legitimate interest" switch at each of the 262 partners which can only be toggled off manually, one by one, and it's all on by default.

    So you click the question mark to see what exactly they mean by legitimate interest, and the info pop-up says "it's when our interest is legitimate".

    This should be regulated more strictly.

    They didn't until EU laws, so you can thank them for that.

    Thank god that at least they made them ask. Another thing I'm massively happy for is GDPR. I keep getting mails in my inbox for all sort of random accounts I don't remember signing up for that I probably just checked out once and forgot about, asking me if they can keep my data, please, because if I don't reply then they can't, and they would REALLY REALLY LIKE TO C'MON FRIEND BE MY FRIEND
