I've also seen a lot of other sneaky bypassing of the law.

For example the news site nu.nl now requires having a free account to read many specific articles. This is a smart move on their part because logging in requires maintaining a higher amount of user information across visits and thus it brings a lot of tracking into the "technically necessary" realm so they don't have to ask permission.

And 'inverse checkboxes': checkbox isn't checked (good), but text reads 'check the box if you don't want to receive our newsletter'.

Marketeers just won't play nice until they are fined big time.
