Intention to fine Marriott more than £99M under GDPR for data breach

Agree, this needs to be seriously enforced. Web browsing is a PITA now with all these popups that only have an "I Accept" box with no way to dismiss the notification otherwise. Usually I just close the tab.

Since so many companies seem to be outsourcing these popups, possibly because they're enrolled in some ad-network cooperations, I wonder if it would be possible to build a browser extension that would automatically submit these forms with everything set to "no consent".

Luckily they're usually poorly implemented and you can just "Inspect Element" + delete.

Although, in saying that, given the lack of official opt-out functionality, using the site will probably result in tracking.

Wasn't the point (or at least one of them) of the GDPR that the consent was to be opt-in?

Yes. So if they track you after you delete their consent overlay, you'd have grounds to complain about them to your data protection agency.
