Can't read the article without accepting sending cookies to thousands of companies.

In the EU you can’t be legally opted into tracking without explicit consent ~~so it’s usually as simple as pressing „confirm choices” or similar option~~. I can’t believe people don’t use adblock and deal with this everywhere though.

I use dns ad blocking so some of the cookies popups from the same host show up. This site either wants you to subscribe or accept ads and sending cookie trackers to advertisers, sure I could accept and assume my browser will successful block the third party cookies, but I don't consent so I won't accept.

Oh wow, haven’t seen that because of the adblocker. Fuck Eurogamer, that’s just illegal here. Meta has been trying to pull that repeatedly as well, they got in trouble with EU for that but I guess they feel more confident with Trump getting bribes from them now.
