Set your vpn to a eu country, more and more websites and apps have a button ‘allow necessary only’ or ‘reject all’. Not sure what the new law exactly asks of them but it feel it working already.

Personal experience is that 2-3 years ago you had to search for a small hidden line of text and now much more often it is not this kind of shit. Especially this year I feel it’s become more easy to reject cookies. Also the ‘accept our cookies or pay a way too expensive subscription to access our website’ type of pop-upe seem to have vanished. Not saying we’re there yet, and also not saying i know what it is like everywhere in the world.

I have probably the exact opposite experience before I degoogled months ago and now on many other websites. There are more and more “pay for our service” pop-ups and also more “reject OPTIONAL” which included like google stuff and also different telemetry stuff. Probably just a different interest problem.
