Consent
Processing personal data is generally forbidden if it is not expressly allowed by law, or the impacted persons have not consented to processing these data.
One must consider, however, that recital 32 requires that a consent may only be granted through a clear negotiation. This includes the requirement for an opt-in.

Again I am not the subject of this thread, never the less one should not draw too many conclusions from the display of a flag, but ok I am supporting Mexico in the world cup.
Are there any other Europeans that can relate whether they were offered the opt-in option and gave their consent?
many ways to do what?
well that's just the thing, what kind of data do they gather and what do they use it for and where is the opt out button.
Thats all listed under the TOS that you read.
dont worry I'll help you,
PS I don't think that Chess.com advertises that much i.e. can do with out ading the EU

Yes its more specific but I still haven’t given my consent nor has any been explicitly sought.

Its not the advertising per se, its the gathering of data without the option to explicitly opt-in or opt-out
I asked because I Googled some of your language and came up with nothing, so I am assuming that it was just a list put together by you and not some official statement of rights that you were quoting.
I must apologise for I did not mean to sound so abrasive.
