Re: re: There is no Refuse option available.
"Sometimes that is the best way to refuse the terms of service -- by not using the site/company and going elsewhere."
GDPR does not allow excessive data gathering to be tied to use of site. If a cookie is required for the operation of the site, e.g. to maintain state, that's OK. If it's to gather data about behaviour it requires separate explicit permission and service can't be withheld if permission isn't given. Breaching that aspect of GDPR brings fines.
