Rossmann calls it the "rapist mentality" and as vulgar as it sounds, I have to agree.

Do you want to hand over your data now, or later? Okay, maybe you'll "change your mind" and "consent" tomorrow when you're focused on something else... Aha! After 185 days of saying no, your finger slipped and accidentally pressed "Yes", we have informed consent!



Seems apt though groomer seems even more apt, slowly with persistence grooming a population to eventually consent. Rapists are more violent like an interstitial that denies access unless you acquiesce to its demands. Like a Hollywood couch.
