The dialog shown does not comply to the GPDR. Makes it very difficult and time consuming to reject cookies and consent, according to the GPDR it has to have an option to do it quickly. This just a giant dark pattern dialog to make users give up.
For me, everything was disabled once I opened the dialog options. Legitimate interest was still enabled, but that's compliant to the GDPR.
'Legitimate interest' consent for ad-tracking, as the settings state is not compliant with GDPR. 'Legitimate interest' consent bare bones and for security and other essential functions only, not ads.
It's questionable, thechincally yes but most who ever use it try to fit all of the tracking in that too and I think that's not as clear
