In the EU this kind of automatic opting-in to marketing/data sharing is against the GDPR as it requires explicit consent from user/customer. I’m in the EU and have those settings but they were both toggled off, as expected.

Even if the UK is not in the EU the GDPR still applies there, just the version it got while it was in the EU tho, no revisions
