In the era of GDPR, informed users were expecting to have greater control of their data.

Fewer surprising (and not in a good way) emails; fewer creepy ads; more transparent and therefore trustworthy and, dare I say, fun-to-use websites.
However, it’s clear that the variety of different approaches to compliance have not produced a utopian consistency in web forms, check-boxes and privacy notices – the user experience side of GDPR. Let’s not wade through the finer points of the legislation again; suffice to say that some companies have let ‘legitimate interests’ do more legwork than others, for better or worse, and the guidance from the ICO has not always been seen as gospel.
