2 seems simple, but every site uses a slightly different variation for opt-in, but every variant is based on your lizard brain being tempted to click accept. The sites that make you scroll through 938 'legitimate interest" partners to get the "reject all" option are particularly shit.

Those sites are also breaking the law, by the way. Opting out has to be just as easy as opting in, otherwise it cannot be considered consent.
