The "continuing to browse this website" seems shady. Can someone explain how this is even supposed to work? Is there a timer that expires? If I scroll at all am I opted in?
Also, is this even legal in jurisdictions that require a cookie opt-out? I thought I read some language about required a positive user interaction to accept tracking.

I would be surprised if it "works", or if they do anything other than tracking you from the first moment until you opt out.
The EU of course, there are international agreements, frameworks and even extraditions for such scenarios.If the US can extradite Ukrainians for hosting a torrent tracker, surely the US would extradite people refusing to follow EU law and violate user privacy and consent (joking of course, that would never happen).
So you're saying people can be punished simply for ONLY following their own country's rules for a website hosted solely within that country? Can you cite any precedent for this especially in the US?
No website is "hosted solely in a country" by default. When your website is available to the world, apparently according to the US, you're liable under any jurisdiction out there:
That's why there are so many shitty american middle-of-nowhere Daily Star Gazettes that block EU visitors with a laughable "our EU visitors are important for us". It seems that they agree with GDPR that it covers them if they serve anything to EU citizens.
