The scummy business model used by advertisers is to deliberately make it inconvenient to opt out of their tracking.

All that is needed by GDPR is a simple 'tick yes' to opt in to tracking if you wish to be tracked or personally identified. (No need to ask permission for 'ordinary' cookies).

You should ask yourself why you are doing business with companies with such as shady business model.

I know it’s deliberate, but let’s be honest why would we expect them to make it simple when it isn’t in their interests. I’m saying take it out of their hands now and give users the control they need.
