Because it's a 3rd party, it cannot be non-compliant?

Seems like it's 1 extra click to disallow compared to allow, so yeah, non-compliant. Should be exactly as easy to say yes as saying no. In this case it's not.

Hey. Ory PM here. Thanks for the info. We fixed the Cookie Banner now. So one click Deny is now possible.

Not at all. My point was that they are not offering that as product.

Overblown criticism like this give GDPR an undeserved bad rep.
Either we have regulation and call people out when they don't follow it and hopefully eventually fine them, or we can just skip it all together.
Incorrect implementations give GDPR a bad reputation, though there are worse ones.
It's not overblown criticism. They advertise their product as GDPR-compliant, and yet their website uses dark patterns to trick people into allowing tracking, and is not GDPR-compliant.

Do I trust them to be as diligent in their product?

And yeah, what gives GDPR bad rep is exactly these kinds of dark patterns and other forms of malicious compliance by non-caring companies.
