And a cookie banner which features this text, along with a slew of abusive dark patterns for maximizing data gathering and compromising user privacy:

"We and our up to 179 partners use cookies and tracking technologies. Some cookies and data processing are technically necessary, others help us to improve our offer and operate it economically.

The processing purposes are storing or accessing information on an end device personalised advertising and content, measuring advertising performance and the performance of content, target group research and developing and improving offers; displaying external content (e.g. YouTube videos, podcasts, Twitter, quizzes), recommendations of own products and content, A/B testing, push notifications/communication, technically necessary cookies (security, login, forum)."

Edit: nuked the links, since they also seem to contain per user/session metadata!
