This is an aside for European visitors to such sites. If you visit from a non-European country, don't worry. Everything is fine.
If you get a big GDPR "We Value Your Privacy" pop-up with a 'AGREE!' button, well, guess what? They don't value your privacy.
The officially sanctioned way of dealing with this is to re-open the link in a 'private' or 'incognito' tab and click AGREE! This hits two birds with one stone: from the perspective of the analysts of such sites,
a) one person has visited the site and 'bounced', that is to say, left the site, never to return. And:
b) one person visited the site, 'agreed' and then never visited again.
I mean, unless you like being tracked. Then, by all means, carry on.
