    Pretty sure CNN is (willfully) misinterpreting the law. The EU is definitely not prohibiting them from just turning off the tracking without providing a choice.

      Yes, but the average reader can’t make that distinction and blames EU.

      The joke is that CNN still violates GDPR with this trick.

        I thank the LORD for GDPR. I am amazed it actually happened. I voted Pirate Party for EU Parliament every time, or whoever was most loud about privacy protections at the time, I wrote to parliamentarians, one of whom I grew up with, and I sure like to think and hope it made a difference. Never thought I’d see something like this happen. The EU works. Democracy works.
