GDPR, is scrolling the page can mean cookie acceptance?
<p>For example take a look at <a href="https://www.cookiebot.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.cookiebot.com/</a> as soon as you scroll down a bit, the consenting options fades away, and it puts a cookie in your browser, that you accepted their cookies.</p>

<p>Is this acceptable by the GDPR / ePrivacy regulation, as a cookie and tracking (analytics, fb pixel) consent? </p>

<p>No. According to GDPR consent must be:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Consent should be given by <strong>a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s agreement</strong> to the processing of personal data relating to him or her, such as by a written statement, including by electronic means, or an oral statement</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Scrolling down is not a clear, affirmative, specific or unambiguous indication of consent, and therefore does not fulfill the requirements for GDPR. </p>
