For me it was opt-in (all trackers were unchecked when I opened it) from both of my computers.

It is also not illegal to require visitors to clarify to which data processing they consent to (GDPR only says that if you require consent for processing that is not necessary to provide the service, then that does not count as consent for GDPR purposes).

Well, they don't specify what "checked" means.

As I interpret it if you don't actively checked that means that you don't opt out from it. Which really makes sense considering how the sole purpose of the entire feature is to confuse and tire people into submission.

The whole thing is opt-out, since it clearly states that pressing "Ok" (the only button that dismisses the dialog) is accepting tracking.
