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

JJ,

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.


I don't think that you, just like VanguardLH, are aware of what the GDPR is
really about. I give you a hint : Its /not/ about cookies.

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


If that where so than just a "who progresses beyond this point" style of
banner or even a small-small-small text at he bottom of the page would have
been enough (shrink-wrap EULAs anyone?). The fact that the GDPR specifies
that the visitor has to be *activily* involved seems to indicate something
different.

Ofcourse, the GDPR is directly opposite the website-owners / companies
stance that nobody is allowed to deny them anything, so they try to trash
it. The mere fact that most all websites sites have a prominent "yes"
button, but no complementing "no" button should tell you enough in that
regard.
