These consent forms are such a sabotage on the original idea.

The idea being, as far as i remember, you set your preferences once. In a container on your machines under your control.

Then the site and the container negotiate. Either the side is willing to accept your preferences - or it denies showing to you - or presents you a "negotiated" down version. No clicking. No visible banners. No large forms and lawyer legalese.

Just a privacy level setting for the web via standardized API. Europe at least tried but dropped the ball.

If the site shows something else (I.e not the service the visitor would see if comsenting) then it’s in violation?
