You mean the consent like not going on the website in the first place? And if all GDPR was just a bunch of consent forms it wouldn't even be a problem.

GDPR is bad/onerous for the following reasons

- right to have access to the information that is being stored on you

- right to be forgotten

- right to view a web page without being shown ads

If GDPR was only asking for consent + banning the sale of information to 3rd parties it would hardly have had the chilling effect it is currently having.

You mean

- right to have access to _your_ information

- right to interrupt the service and get back _your_ information

- right to view a web page _with_ ads but without obligation to give to anyone _your_ information

I don't care how you reword it, those "rights" are stupid.
