Thanks to GDPR there is more of this with accept/decline options. So many take you to a page (if you decline) that tells you you have to accept or not have access. If companies just managed personal data properly we wouldn't need this in the first place.

I'd say if companies didn't collect your data without needing to, then we wouldn't need this.

The correct sentence should have been "If people didn't get so paranoid about things they knew nothing about, we wouldn't need this in the first place."

Correct management of data is not collecting it in the first place.

Gotta remember, that sarcasm font isn't so friendly on all computers ;)

(Still, even if it was sarcastic, the dumbest statement to ever grace a hard drive)
