Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a nerd. I like tech and gadgets and speculative fiction, and playing around with programming. It's not my day job, but I'm working on making it a side gig :)
It's difficult or impossible to know what data you're "handing" them.
Even if you try to stop handing them data they still collect it. See: google collecting location data.
They use fingerprinting techniques to track you even though you aren't logging in or submitting any data to them. Nowhere in that scenario are you handing them data, they are harvesting it.
But yes, on the face of it if someone clicks "I agree that you collect data" they're on their own. But reality is more complex than you let on.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
