A subtle or greyed “continue without accepting” link is not a real choice. It is a workaround.
GDPR requires free and informed choice, which implies real balance between accept and refuse.
A legal issue
Making refusal harder than acceptance is non-compliant, even if some interfaces blur the lines.
A user respect issue
Beyond the legal aspect, it is also about respect. Forcing consent through design creates long-term mistrust.
With tarteaucitron, refusing will always be as easy as accepting.
