if you’re trying to circumvent them the best method is to just disable javascript. the next best method is ublock filterlists. but i do use consentomatic as well because i’m lazy.
Ime with ublock it’s not nearly as easy to manage allowing only specific scripts to run on each website to make it work but with less garbage added on compared to noscript
Which is also pointless - “legitimate interest” is basically them saying “i have a very good reason to access your data, as per GDPR, so I don’t need explicit consent”. Deselecting it has no effect, I think they only do that to make you lose time. The only way to avoid those companies using your data is to challenge them in court and show that they do not, in fact, have a legitimate interest. That’s their whole game

That is a great find. Thank you!
This is illegal, they are required to be opt-in, default toggled off.
“legitimate interest” is kind of a loophole, because there is some legal basis for it. This is why they think it is OK to leave it on by default.
It’s obviously not OK and those data pigs should burn in hell.
