Users consent when they visit the website. I didn't want to see your comment, but I took the risk when I came here.

But do they?

I've seen this excuse used in so many places. You don't actually get a choice as the damage is often done before you even get a chance to say "no", often because you don't realise that the damage is being done. People get upset by drive-by malware or its threat yet this sort of thing is not really much different.
