Any suggestion for a more elegant solution? For example, with copyrights, it’s in many ways granted automatically just by existence. Other terms and privacy rights don’t require popups.
I don't have anything specific. I think most websites have a slow-and-painful cookie/GDPR dialogue because they must have it so there is no real reason to make it good, they can just blame the law for why it sucks. But, for example, many many websites I visit load up, and then a few seconds later (massive JS download? Some cute animation? I don't know) a dialogue pops up asking for my consent. They could optimize to make this experience better, there is nothing about the web tech stack that requires this sort of thing to be unpleasant.
