I'm sure it will be mentioned in the 40 page privacy and cookie policy that pops up on every website asking you to agree before continuing.


Which is not compliant with GDPR.


And Im sure it wont be explicitly stated, but simply rolled up under some paragraph as a blanket statement, something to the effect of:

"We track all of your activities and provide third parties the ability to do so as well - to provide a better user experience - and we may or may not sell or distribute the collected data at our own discretion and continued use of this site grants us permission in perpetuity. Further, should you decide to sue us, you agree to binding arbitration at a venue chosen by us, conducted by an arbiter of our choosing, in which case you promise to lose regardless of outcome. If you disagree, please leave the site now but just know, by being here and reading this, you have already granted us this power and we've mostly already collected what we needed from you. Thank you. Stop wasting our bandwidth now. Fuck off!"
