The consent dialogs aren't really about cookies, though. They are about tracking personal information. Many cookies aren't used for tracking and you can track without using cookies.

Cookies that aren't used for tracking don't require consent though (except for weird corner cases). That only leaves us with "tracking without cookies" which is technically already solved by the "do not track" header (though of course in practice it isn't really solved, mostly because of how browsers implemented it)
