       @codinghorror That the EU 'forced' cookie banners is flat-out false. It was a *choice* for sites like yours to persist in the intensive collection of data about your users to feed in to the surveillance capitalism machine. As genuinely admirable as your philanthropy is, it was built on this.

       @codinghorror As for why this isn't a browser feature, it was and is! It is a *choice* by your industry to disregard this, by ignoring DNT and not implementing GPC in major browsers. Did your site honour DNT? Does it honour GPC in places where it is not legally obliged to?https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/DNThttps://globalprivacycontrol.org/
