We are working on an Erasmus+ grant project with my company ProctorExam, and due to the nature of the project, we've also included a privacy lawyer and a representative from SURF(The Dutch institution that deals with all things education). From discussions that we had last week, an "I agree" button does NOT count as informed consent because they aren't actually presented with what they are consenting to.

IANAL but I think there is also something about a reasonable chance to understand it, i.e. a wall of text + a Agree (to get anyway) shouldn't fly either.

Maybe someone who knows can confirm or deny this.

Also: personally I think current EULAs are stupid and "Contents hot" on coffee cups only exist because Americans like to sue each other.

I somewhat naively think that contracts between consumers and companies should be brought down to Creative Commons level.
