I filed a complaint about Facebook with my local data protection agency, which agreed and forwarded the case to Ireland. Well see whether Ireland conforms to the GDPR.

CNIL (French privacy body) ruled that it was legal except for government websites. A lot of French newspaper do it.

Wow… How did they argue that consent was still “freely given”? And also that it is “as easy” to give as it is to withdraw consent?

They say it’s legal, as it is a viable alternative to tracking, but has to be a reasonable amount.
