Stopped reading this after being presented with a list of over 100 pre-selected "Legitimate Interest" no-ops. Including "Receive and use automatically-sent device characteristics for identification. Your device might be distinguished from other devices based on information it automatically sends, such as IP address or browser type."


I've counted up to 150 'legitimate interest' settings I've had to manually turn off one by one before I got to the end of the list. Obviously that's not something people are supposed to be able to actually do, even if I've done it a few times just for the heck of it (usually I just leave the site right away, unless it has a 'reject all' or similar - and many don't).
