What's annoying is the "Reject" button hidden on another page. That should be illegal.

And it actually is... Quote from the GDPR:

It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

The problem isn't the law. It's that it isn't enforced.

It is enforced, but there are so many websites with so little time.

So it takes a while. It used to be WAY worse.

Plus the 'legitimate interests' of 3rd parties

Yeah, definition of "legitimate interest" is definitely being stretched well beyond it's breaking point.
