      Just wanted to say that. And it’s visible, when visiting from EU, if you click “Manage preferences”, all except the “legitimate interest” ones are off by default.

      WHICH IS BULLSHIT AS THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE INTEREST >_<

      I know that but it doesn’t really change anything. I’m not going to sue each and every website because of that

        You don’t have to sue anyone. You can ask the offenders to correct their website and if they don’t, give a notice to the data protection authority in your country and they will handle it from there.
