GDPR was never about cookies but about freely given consent.

Two things that make Utiq absolutely terrible (and imho illegal)

1. It's crazy that any person who is using my internet connection (guest wifi?) can give "consent" that leads to everyone else being tracked.

2. ISPs are abusing their highly privileged position. It's not easy to switch providers (if at all possible), so as "gatekeepers" they should behave responsibly (c.f. DMA designated Gatekeepers etc) and not abuse their power.
