Re:Can the horrendous cookie banner by the EU be rolled back? by Zealotux on Monday April 04, 2022 @10:39AM (#30907157)
I'm still surprised we haven't seen – as far as I'm aware – a proposal to integrate the cookie consent notice as a unified browser specification that websites would have to go through to ask for permission, just like they have to for displaying notifications, use the webcam, microphones, etc.

"This website wants to share your information with the following third-part services...", with a way for me to save my preferences for various services so I don't have to select for each individual website I visit.

I'm definitely not surprised. The global consensus seems to be that, if the user gets the real choice, then the vast majority of users (more than 80%) will refuse the cookie. If it gets standardized in browser, then most companies will lose their precious data.
