That existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

It failed horribly because it was voluntary. But now that it's a GDPR requirement, perhaps that might have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding.

No, it failed because it acts on the wrong side. If you don't want to be tracked you shouldn't send cookies in your request.
