They probably do in "Manage preferences". Stuff you can give to an intern to accomplish has never been a deterrent.

That's not what it's there for. It's not supposed to be a deterrent. The rule is there to be informative.

Think about what would happen if one of their partners was the police or the government. That would give them some pretty deep access that you may not want them to have.

They probably do in "Manage preferences".

That's not sufficient. For asking any kind of consent, the complete & specific info must be given before. Like "I agree to things that you have (probably, hopefully :-)) written somewhere else" - that is no consent.

And they have the burden of proof.
