> You are in control

But also:

> The Utiq technology is linked to the internet connection. This means that anyone using the same connection will have access to the same consenthub view and will be able to manage Utiq consents given when using that connection. For example, when you share broadband connection with others in your household or if you use tethering/hotspot.

And of course the consent management panel is behind a CAPTCHA - god forbid someone automate revoking consent! I'm guessing no CATPCHA is needed to give consent, though.

It’s absolutely crazy that the land of GDPR can legally implement a tracking mechanism this invasive. I guess this is legal because it doesn’t use cookies, and they “obtain consent”?
