That’s really meta, I guess adding thse rules to uBlock means you consent.

How can you even prove that a client consented? Do you present a log of the request or something?

Well, obviously, since the only way to view the site is to accept, the fact that he viewed the site is incontrovertible proof that he accepted!

They can try, but there is specific language banning this in the GDPR.
