I got this banner at the #BlueShieldOfCA website this evening.
The website is asking me to consent to share my "navigation and use activity" with third-party service providers without telling me who they are or exactly what data are shared with them.
These details also don't seem to be available in the website's privacy policy.
This is a shitty, useless consent banner which purports to be there to protect my privacy when in fact it's doing no such thing.
