These types of "services" should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Not that it should be necessary, notion should not be violating you're privacy by default, but at least uBlock/uMatrix block the entire fullstory domain by default.

Precisely why I use it. Unfortunately it can't block everything, and it's under heavy attack[1], as we know.

In the EU they are by law. In reality not all websites disclose all services they share data with though. And all users click accept in the cookie pop-up anyway.

Have you seen those pop ups with a button to consent to cookies and a link to a privacy page where usage of 3rd party services like Fullstory has to be disclosed? That's your opt-in.

It is not opt in if I do not have an option to decline. "By continuing to use our website you agree" is not opt in and isnt GDPR conform.
