Would this get past the GDPR? I get the defeatism, there are powerful actors, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve the situation.

No, it's not legal. It's clearly not legal, it doesn't need a case. It's well established in the law as it was written.

It's just that the enforcement agencies are large, lazy and won't enforce anything. They don't even enforce when you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt when and how the corporations have leaked your private information, let alone when their use of cookies is illegal.

GDPR enforcement actions are happening quite often in the EU.

Isn't this one of those things that is going to require a landmark case?
