Default Google is redirecting me to a "consent" page - is it new or just me ?

That's what "consent" is all about.


But the fact is that almost all of them don't actually ask for a consent.
They simply notify us, that cookies will be given for whatever reason they
please. Even _before_ we click that Yes/OK/Accept/Agree button or link.

From what I see, GDPR is meant to _protect_ website owners from being sued
by visitors. It's not meant to protect website visitors.
