Nobody but bureaucrats think the cookie warnings are ay good. I advocate self-help, like using the Brave browser.
But the issue here is not your nonsensical digression into cookie warnings. It is: Zoom's docs & UI are confusing ordinary, mass users into inadvertently revealing private chats. Zoom should fix that.
I believe a simple baseline fix would be: offer 2 downloads, one clearly marked/named as "shared transcript - what all participants saw", another clearly marked/named as "personal transcript - what you saw".

That's a great feature request - but the current zoom feature is simply not "private chat text is actually public".
If you think privacy is enhanced by all these cookie warnings (when YOU can control / clear etc your cookies) you are probably mistaken.
If Zoom goes to full E2E encrypted chat (this means on-boarding is FAR more complicated than clicking a totally simple URL with some digits) they will likely loose a lot of their market. If they go to E2E encrypted chat and block users from downloading their own chat, even more market share lost.
