whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.
it would suck to individually reject those 797 "partners".
This button doesn't often work as you'd expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called "legitimate interest" option. The only way to be sure is to click "manage preferences" and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you'll see "object all" in there, but some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
I hate this. There is nothing legitimate about it. It's one of the biggest insults anyone ever gave me.
