I just clicked through the links of that banner and I landed on https://www.oath.com/de/my-data/#protectingdata anyways, I will not read the article because I am sure these dialogs are built in a way to gain "consent" by trickery.
1st popup page: Some text about Oath with big "OK" button and same size "Manage Options" link. By clicking OK you agree to everything.
2nd popup page when clicking "Manage Options" link: Some more text about Oath with big "OK" button and tiny "Manage Options" link next to a headline. I have no idea what happens when I click OK here. Is the same as the "OK" button on the first page? I didn't manage anything here yet so I guess it could mean agree to everything again. On the other hand there are some settings you can change on the next screen (you don't know that at this point though), so maybe "OK" now means continue and use these settings? You have to trust that they are opt-in rather than opt-out, otherwise you need to check the settings.
3rd popup page when clicking manage "Manage Options" link: Some text about Oath partners with links within the text. The big button is called "Done" now but at this point it is not clear what exactly that means because there was nothing to manage yet. Clicking the link to show partners displays a list of 10 essential partners (Amazon, Google, ebay etc.) with links to 10 data privacy policies that you apparently automatically have to agree with. A bit hard to notice but there's another tab for IAB partner with 224 more partners. At least they aren't enabled by default.
I guess "Done" means use these options and it brings you back to the 2nd popup. I actually have no idea at which point I disagreed or disabled something, I just got trained to click a bunch of "OK" buttons with unclear meaning.
...and after landing on that page, you have to click through to the privacy Dashboard, where you can supposedly opt-out of individual partners.
I say "supposedly", because the first partner I clicked on led me to the "I'm not a robot" captcha.
After which I just closed the window. Guess I'll not read the article after all.
How on earth they expect this to fly under the GDPR, expecially considering that "[t]hese partners may access your device to collect data for ad selection, delivery and measurement", is beyond me.
