Cookie walls that demand a website visitor agrees to their Internet browsing being tracked for ad-targeting as the ‘price’ of entry to the site are not compliant with European data protection law, the Dutch data protection agency clarified yesterday.
The DPA said it has received dozens of complaints from Internet users who had had their access to websites blocked after refusing to accept tracking cookies — so it has taken the step of publishing clear guidance on the issue.

The agency is saying going against the obvious spirit of the law forcing sites to offer a choice to be or not to be tracked does not go.
It's pretty candid but it makes sense. The sites are the ones acting in bad faith.
