Why can't we just set a single setting and have every website obey it?

It's called Do-Not-Track and was ignored...

If GDPR required websites to obey DNT would it still be ignored?

GDPR requires active consent (or so I have repeatedly seen on HN), and that was clearly ignored

From what I understand, DNT is in fact shrined into law in the upcoming ePrivacy law though.

We had that in 2002, it was called P3P. Maybe it's time we came full circle...

We can set the single setting (Do not track), but websites can ignore it.

So have I, but for some reason my browser cache is cluttered with 3rd party content I never asked for. The feature is evidently broken.

Turning-off third party cookies doesn’t prevent third-party images, CSS, JS, or fonts from being loaded. Your browser just doesn’t save or send cookies while doing so.

These third-party things should be in your cache.
