Question in regards to the user consent pop-ups on websites: On sites that continue to let you browse without making a selection (say the consent banner in on the bottom of the browser window), If I don't make any choice, accept or reject, what happens? Am I giving consent by default?

By law or it has to be informed, active consent AIUI. Some sites say 'by continuing you are giving consent' but that's not how it works.

You have to be able to use the site without giving consent too.

Consent needs to be unambiguous. If they assume consent, they operate illegally.

No, you aren't.
