Apparently in order not to track me reading their web page, Reuters requires (among others) my full name, residency, date of birth, street address, and telephone number.
I interpreted the "Reject All"/"Confirm My Choices" buttons at the bottom to belong only to the "Manage Consent Preferences" section. The "Information Our Partners Collect" part above it is a separate section, with a separate "Accept All" button, and an opt-out link in the text, so I figured the final "Reject All" might only reject the second section. Because why else would they have separate sections with separate buttons?
Either way, none of this inspires confidence that they have my interests in mind.
Bingo. This is the underlying issue. And indeed this dual opt out is probably intentionally confusing - and I'm never sure either whether 'refuse all' refuses also the partners.
You are probably not the right person to ask then, but I always wondered: How prevalent are these consent popups outside of the EU?
A lot of the same sites don't bother to throw the popup when I'm browsing from India.
