I don't understand why companies are doing this.

Without these overlays, they violate the GDPR.

With these overlays, they violate the GDPR and annoy their users.

That's what I don't get. It's my understanding that these ad tracking options have to be opt-in. If I have to dig through countless hidden links and options to reject these settigns it's anything but opt-in.

If I can't reject this nonsense within 3 clicks I'll leave the site.
