Yes, it's also against the rules to auto select all of the trackers as accepted but many sites still do this. By default everything should be deselected and you need to accept all of them to allow tracking.

I've found that sites are slowly changing over to this method but it will probably take a big court case for the likes of TechCrunch to change.

I thought they could have them all selected as long as there was some "de-select all" button?

Edit: Never mind, I guess that would violate Article 7's "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent."

Wait--that exists? Then Oath _definitely_ is violating GDPR. Continuing without consent is basically impossible on their websites!
