I wish the prosecution of breaking the GDPR would be quicker. There are so many sites out there that obviously do not comply with the spirit of the GDPR.
The GDPR is very clear, that it should be the users choice if he wants to be tracked (freely given, so without any other negative consequences). But many pages out there are trying to trick people into accepting their cookies by accident (playing with buttons (size, color, arrangement, etc.)). Those Paywalls are just the tip of the iceberg. And for those companies who comply with the law, it is just a competitive disadvantage.
Sometimes I am more drawn to accepting some page's cookies, just because they implemented the consent layer in a compliant way.
