I bet they will keep adding loopholes to keep websites bullying their visitors.
why bother making legal frameworks when you can't enforce them, there are hundreds of thousands of website including very prominent ones that hide the "reject all cookies" button after a second screen prompt. or flat out force you to opt-out of every second cookie category , just so you give up. they haven't been fined. and they know EU authorities aren't bothered either, so they keep infringing on the GDPR.
My biggest qualm is that usually these sites won't save it when you only allow necessary cookies. So they will ask you for every single session until you give in.
