I think it is crazy that the following are not possible to opt out of:

- Match and combine offline data sources - Link different devices - Receive and use automatically-sent device characteristics for identification

With data being shared with the following 3rd parties…

"We and our partners process data to provide: Use precise geolocation data. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Store and/or access information on a device. Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development."

    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('#ot-ven-lst > .ot-ven-item')).length 
    # 661

This is definitely the case here in Spain. I've been to the voting centers a few times and they have tables outside the voting rooms with piles of voting slips similar to[0]. You see families come in and the younger members have no ability to secretly vote for whom they desire as the slip you pick is for a party and you are selecting that in front of anyone else that is there.

Being from the UK where we mark who we are voting for in a private booth, on a slip with all candidates [1] fold the paper in half so no one can see and post that into a box, the Spanish system makes me uncomfortable. Let alone that people mess with the stacks of slips, hiding smaller party's slips under other piles…
