How did we end up with a web where I have to make sure I check every last bit of a 'cookie consent tool' to find these obscured 'legitimate interest' toggles for dozens of weird companies and turn each sodding one off, one by one, before I can read a piece???

Kate It seems that they now really like turning them all off in the main section; then omitting them entirely from the first few screenscrolls of the vendor section, then for the final 1250+ 'selected Partners' well oh dear me what's all this then?

Paul Clarke Yup. It's fucking dreadful. Dark patterns like that shouldn't be allowed.
