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.

I’m not even sure this is legal since accepting and rejecting should be equivalent choices. In those cases agreeing requires one click while rejecting requires two (manage->save, on top of said dark pattern). Then again many regulators are either toothless or willingly blind. EU is obviously not as bad as other places but still has ways to go.
