Am I the only to be shocked? Though no I'm not surprised.

Here is the list of 548 vendors I quickly scrapped from their Data Privacy consent popup (might have missed a few): https://justpaste.it/3lna1

Just open reuters.com, wait for the Consent pop-up, click the tiny "Show vendors" at the bottom and enjoy the list. Note: my IP is in the EU, maybe you don't get the pop-up if you visit from outside the GDPR zone?

A nice and a clear reminder of how things got out of hand with the internet IMHO.

I'm outside the EU and don't see the Consent pop-up. Thanks for the heads up!

no way, really?

but if one EU cit. goes abroad, shouldn't they ask him the consent? how do they handle it?
