> I don’t think I’ve seen a cookie banner pop up with a “please reconsider” on refusal … ever, actually. Neat?

On the subject of cookie banners, https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ says

“To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must […] Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a site with “withdraw cookie consent” functionality.

The best you can get is that it is as easy to not consent as to consent (and this site doesn’t even accomplish that. Not consenting requires two click, consenting only one)

Does this mean those sites that require you to go to a "legitimate interests" page and manually uncheck all of them are breaking the law?
