We should bring back #DoNotTrack #DNT with a single purpose: get websites not to show cookies preference dialogs. #GDPR is good, but what a bane it has cast upon everyone.
The annoying cookie banners and pop-ups are not the GDPR 's fault: they exist to push us into accepting tracking cookies; EU law* doesn't require cookie banners at all, consent is only required for cookies that aren't necessary for a site to function.
