they don't need to retrofit their entire website. GDPR does not require the website to do anything, it requires websites to not do certain greedy things. that's all. that's the nice thing, they could just remove all the tracking code and they are compliant.
Except they do, because even if they’re pretty certain their site is compliant with GDPR they’d still have to review the code to make certain it is or risk legal liability if anything isn’t.
Many small to medium organizations that aren’t operating outside of the USA chose to just block connections instead.
