You mean "do not track"? Good luck with that, even the EU was smart enough to know that that's not an option.


"Do not track" isn't even close to what I'm talking about. The only difference would be that the cookie banner is presented by the browser in a standardised way, similar to e.g. the webcam permissions dialogue. It would have the same (non-existent) legal enforcability as now but the browser could enforce it by blocking cookies and sites would be more usable, with fewer dark patterns.


Ah so a new Web API ?

That could work, yes.
