Are you in the EU? Every ad company does a dark pattern where it looks like it’s impossible to opt out but remember that you can’t be legally opted in without explicitly agreeing to it. Once you know it you’ll notice that if you go into managing your choices then no non-essential cookies or data sharing partners will be selected. Ad company wants to trick you into agreeing by making „agree” look like it’s preselected and default (by being the only coloured button) but nothing there is actually selected and if you click „save choices” you just refused those cookies.
Alternatively you can use an extension like superagent.
I’m in Germany. It should be illegal, but the companies get away with it. Even shitty newspapers like Bild are doing it. I use ublock with annoyances on and ghosterly but these still get through.
