I would become an EU citizen if I could the day GDPR went official. It is the second best thing to happen after the invention of WWW itself in this industry. Hopefully more is to come and more countries adopt similar measures, and browsers start providing standardised UI for GDPR etc. related options so that those popups, if they exist, are rendered futile.

Browsers already offered standardised UI for accepting or rejecting cookies. The EU didn't care and now every website has its own totally non standard popup that can't be scripted or automated away. It's a disaster that shows how clueless governments can be about this stuff.
