Standardize it. Policy makers should provide a standard message, or small set of messages websites can reuse and consumers recognize with links to an EU-run informational website easy to understand for consumers. I don't understand why it wasn't implemented this way, maybe to allow for more freedom of implementation, but we have seen that has hurt the policy effort. Just standardize it.

Incidentally, with all of the Organic / GMO-Free / et all certifiers out there, would a privacy badge be the way to go, or is that backwards thinking in the way of early internet site badges?

There's not a standard copy-paste-ready set of phrases because it would be impossible for the law makers to craft such.

They couldn't possibly know what site A or B respectively does with a user's data. That differs from site to site.

It is therefore of course the obligation of each site that directly or indirectly works with user PII to explain to its users how that specific site is using the data.
