> pop a quick non modal notification saying "we wants to track you but but we won't because you said not to. Click here if you want to change that"

That's the same thing as a cookie banner. I don't care what the words say; don't show it to me at all.

- non modal

- don't require action or decision on you

- can be put at the bottom right on the corner

- don't prevent accessing the main content

It's the same thing as a cookie banner in the way a HN comment and a double blind study are the same thing.

You’re describing the annoying cookie banners on half the sites I visit, including stack overflow.
