Not the ones that the industry has barfed up, and I specifically chose this wording
ePrivacy: "their use should be allowed on condition that users are provided with clear and precise information"
GDPR (among other things): "the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language... It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent."
Nothing in any law requires the "accept by default, go through hundreds of checkboxes to opt-out". If anything, those are actually illegal.
