No, please don't!

It's great. The current law forces people that don't give a shit about user privacy to have a banner (or any other way of asking for consent first) while giving everyone that cares and everyone not wanting to spy on their visitor a free pass.

People click yes too often because it's the easier way to make it go away. This new thing could actually result in a 0% tracking cookie consent rate, effectively making them illegal.

I am old enough to remember Do Not Track and its failure and problems associated with it. What's new here? Why wasn't it adopted in the first place for GDPR?

Nothing.

People not reading back on history is still very much a thing.

Keep fighting! For now: browser plugins.

uBlock Origin -> allows blocking dialogs (legally implies refusal of everything not necessary, because you don't agree to something requiring agreement)

Consent-O-Matic -> automated configuration to your preferences using the dialog provided.

I still don't care about cookies -> least privacy friendliest option, because it may opt into undesired tracking (its goal is just to remove the annoyance of the dialogs)

I use "I still don't care about cookies"; it works well, but I don't have a current comparison to other options.

This should just be a browser setting with a per site opt-in when more data collection is needed. Just like you can enable notifications, webcam etc... or set it to always deny.

Why the fuck do people have to keep stating the same preference over and over again. This is a hellscape of bad government AND corporate policy colliding.

You don’t need a cookie notice if you don’t track. We also had “do not track” is safari.

Yeah, the "do not track" setting I think was the browser based solution that sadly never took off. Better government policy should have required respecting that setting instead of the cookie banners.

Uhm…

> The solution: automatically communicate your privacy preference

Would be lovely and would happen if it weren't for… wait for it… Google and whole effed up ad-busines:

The solution would be for browser to send do not track header and have that header be respected.

But we can't have that, can we ? They will lobby to hell and back for that to not happen

The captchas are worse imo (from an usability standpoint) especially the newer Cloudflare infront of everything to check for bots trend.

Even if you communicated your preferences sites would still want to ask for an exception to them. At least you won't see them ask for consent if you preapprove it.
