Yes that's what is most annoying that many companies by default assume opt-in to their spying activity, despite GDPR regulation saying that all consents should be opt-out by default. As a result, after clicking on 21 pop-up and opting out suddenly I notice that I stop caring... so in this area it seems GDPR is effectively dead regulation.

Something might have changed here recently; the past couple of days I noticed all GDPR popups I get have "reject" set as default for everything in the "Details" view. Unfortunately, they don't communicate this on the initial view, so I still need to review the details before continuing.
