    Probably because you're in the USA. Explicitly asking for permission to collect and sell your data is mandatory in the EU.

      I'm not reading it. The GDPR banner for that site is one of those "you have to disable each vender individually - here is a huge list, have fun." ones and life is too short to spend 10 minutes clicking on "No, I don't want you get my info to do with as you will" checkboxes.

      Same. When I really want to see such a website I open up the console and disable all checkboxes programmatically :D In this particular case you could use: Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName('input')).forEach(i => i.checked = false) Of course you'll have to run it on the settings and on the vendors tab separately.

        It's not the link trying to steal info, it's the GDPR management screen that insists you untick everyone you don't want them to sell your info to - if you just pressed "accept" to get rid of it once it will sell it to every on on a long list because you have said they can. They have to show the GDPR dialog, but they don't have to have just an "accept" and a "reject" button. That annoys me because they deliberately make it hard to prevent them doing it. So I just walk away and don't go back.

        I've never seen (or in reality, noticed) such a long cookie-mamagement list, but had a go at deleting a few - then gave up. Allowed what was left, removed the whole set of cookies from FF and could then read at my leisure. Probably won't be going back.
