> The rule is that people are allowed to opt out of tracking

Sorry to correct you, but the rule is that people are allowed to opt-in to tracking. This fundamental misunderstanding is kinda the problem...

Although I would say that this misunderstanding is not the problem.

The problem is that people think the cookies are the problem, when in fact it's not the cookies but the tracking.

Sorry, yes this is correct.

And even after opting in, you are allowed to opt out.
