No, nobody can. Not even the folks that wrote the law. Not even the folks that enforce the law (DOJ) (referencing the ADA law in regards to websites). You can go look for yourself... it's created an entire cottage industry of would-be vexatious litigants, if any of the suits actually went to court.

So no, it is not easy to define or describe. There is an incredible amount of detail that must be hammered out to make it easy for everyone to become compliant.

We can also reference the EU's GDPR, or California's CCPA/CPRA. All of which are struggling to actually clearly define what they mean. What is an essential cookie? What does it mean to sell someone's personal data? Neither are what you might actually believe...

You can reject it all you want, but that does not change the reality I'm afraid.

What you're describing is called interpretation of the law, and weirdly enough, legal systems have been doing that for the better part of 600 years.
