Making them tell you they want the keys and give you a reason isn't all bad.
But yes, the proxy ought to do more to encourage people. One problem is that two of the major browsers (Firefox and Chrome) are funded by a company that makes all its money from tracking and advertising (google), and it's pretty unlikely they would turn off third-party cookies by default, which I think would be a good start.

I wouldn't be against a law that requires browsers to make third party cookies opt-in. Note also that the current law has no effect on Google's tracking whatsoever.
