My experience as an encryption BD guy and GDPR practitioner is that web-based marketing vertical, whose abuses in many ways are the root cause of the DPA and now GDPR , simply cannot or will not get their respective heads wrapped around the wholesale change to their business model that GDPR compliance requires.
