GDPR makes most users “more persistently trackable”

&quot;Most users&quot; would be those that opt-in to cookies.<p>It should be mentioned that dark UI-patterns to obfuscate the possibility to opt-out are forbidden by GDPR. As well as not having opt-out selected as default choice. The popups are annoying, but I think it is worthwhile to have a reminder about what websites try to track you and that the ad industry is still encroaching on users.
