A cookie banner won't let me refuse

Step-by-step legal guidance hasn't been verified in Čeština yet, so it's shown in English below. The interface is in Čeština.

  1. What is the banner doing?

    There's no reject button — only "accept" or endless settings

Consent must be as easy to refuse as to give (Art. 7(3) GDPR), and it must be freely given and unambiguous (Art. 4(11)). A one-click "accept" next to a reject option hidden behind several screens fails that design test.

You can check the banner with this portal's cookie checker tool, refuse via the settings path (annoying but valid), and report the site to your national Data Protection Authority — many DPAs accept simple online reports for exactly this pattern.

What you can do next

Lodge a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority — free of charge, in the country where you live or work (GDPR Art. 77).
