If I only allow “essential” trackers, it will ask me to enable targeted tracking every time I open the app… Not really a choice if it’s forced.

    Manage Preferences > Turn off all the options > Save Chosen Preferences (or whatever it says)

    It’s shitty that they hide it when that same framework they’re using provides an easy “Reject All” button, but you definitely don’t have to accept the spyware

      In the “Manage Preferences” screen, I only get one option “Targeting”, which is already disabled.

      This message will come up EVERY TIME I open the app, unless I enable the targeting toggle. Doing so means that my “browsing activity on our apps and websites will be collected by us and by third party companies that we select… This information may also be used to build a profile of your interests, to personalize your content and present you with relevant offers, including on third party sites.”

      They literally force me to be annoyed now, or later when my “profile” becomes weaponized against me.
