Unrelated to the article itself but I initially clicked on mobile and was presented with this clearly GDPR-violating prompt:

Tracking consent prompt with only an “Accept all” button

Where’s the button to reject tracking? It doesn’t exist.

For reference this is the correct prompt on admiral’s own website:

Tracking consent prompt with a “Reject all” button next to “Accept all”

First time I see GDPR violation this brazen. While writing this comment I finally figured out how to reject consent (clicking on “Purposes” and manually deselecting each purpose).

I double checked with remote debugging, the button is not just hidden in CSS; it’s missing entirely:

HTML source showing no reject all button

For some reason I don’t get a consent prompt at all from my desktop even on a brand new firefox profile – perhaps because of my user-agent?

Anyways I felt motivated today so I’ve sent an email to their Data Protection Officer and set a reminder for next month in case they ghost me.
