This just made me think of something.

How do the GDPR popups work if you don't have JavaScript enabled? Are the sites still GDPR compliant if they track you using cookies because you disabled the JS which should have disabled the cookies?

The JavaScript ones simply don't appear - which is nice. And yes, I believe they're in breach of GDPR if they use cookies and tracking pixels to track me without giving me the opportunity to deny consent. Please note I'm not a lawyer but I don't think there is a legal obligation for me to use their sites with JavaScript enabled.
