Aside: I can't remember what site I was on recently, but I saw the craziest cookie prompt. The options were:

Basic / Premium / Ultra

With you guessed it, Ultra being the most tracking cookies. I was flabbergasted.

They should make Ultra have a limited time countdown, to stress people into FOMOclicking.

But of course, for maximum trap potential, we need to find a wording such that Premium is the option without, while Ultra tracking and Basic tracking should both do roughly the same amount of tracking (modulo not really relevant details). With a sufficiently discouraging wall of text, a bad UX, and a limited time option, no one would spend the time to figure out they need to click the middle option.

Might as well charge $0.99/year for Ultra too.
