Websites in the Netherlands (and German public broadcasters) already follow the original ideal:

Before accessing the website, you get a choice between yes and no.

If you select no, the site will not do any tracking, no analytics — some sites disable ads in that case entirely. You still get to access the site.

If you select yes, you getthe tracking.

Honestly asking... Does anyone ever click yes?

Probably, because many other sites implement it as "yes means you get to go to the site, the no button is a link to google.com"
