AFAIK there was a legislative initiatives to do exactly that and the ad industry whined about it.

I think the result would have been similar to what happened when apple did it's Facebook nerf. Within the margin of error no one wants to be tracked and the ad industry knows this despite their fake "user-benefit" Spiel.

In the end it didn't happen and I can't recall what it was called.

It was a mistake though. Because now the politicians get blamed for the cookie banner chaos.

I hope they will go back on this and mandate DNT after all.
