To make this very clear: user/visitor consent is only needed for data going to 3rd parties. All cookie laws, including GDPR and CCPA, allow essential first-party cookies to be exempt from collecting user consent before performing their actions. So your session tracking cookie on your site DOES NOT need a consent popup AT ALL. Regardless of what the ad/tracker "industry" tries to insinuate.

And finally: This is all IMHO. My personal frustration. The web wasn't created to be an invasive data collection engine in the hands of a few. It became what it is for many reasons. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Do your little part. Create static pages whenever that's sufficient. Resist including external scripts/tracker stuff. We can return to a #BetterWeb :) Yes, I am that optimistic!

@kkarhan Back to the roots. It isn't really complicated, at least for the vast majority of small to medium sized websites. It's just that almost all frameworks used bring in the dependencies that cause this popup mania to happen. @aral

@jwildeboer for that we need more engine diversity, eg more people coming back to firefox, people jumping on the servo boat etc ...
