A lot of sites make it look difficult but you can often opt out of their ad and tracking cookies in 2 clicks. Usually there’s a “Save my choices” button that defaults to doing just this.
I’m aware of that - I’ve gone through these way too many times. For example, if you go to kukuklok.com (just a timer with an alarm site), you’ll see what I’m talking about, and it’s just a few brackets. Some sites have way more of those.
I’m also aware I can save it, but
1: cookies can expire, and
2: whenever you open it on a new device, you can start over
I look at itt the other way. The EU’s cookie rules require websites to allow opt-out in no more than 2 clicks. I think they’re just trying to confuse and wear us down.
I will continue to 2-click my way through these things and not worry too much. If they wanted to break the rules then they can do it all anyway and ignore my clicked preferences.

It’s not in their interest to make it clear.

Sorry, I don’t understand. On kukuklok.com , press Manage Settings and then Save Settings. Avoid the Recommended button. Job done?
When you click Manage Settings, you get this panel:
If you Save Settings, then you allow 148-666 of their partners to access your data. Unless you untick every single “legitimate interest” box, as well.
What’s the difference between limited interest and consent? The latter is unticked by default.
Yes. This is what my topmost comment was about. It’s never explained clearly.
