Hot take: I think the fact that the website I'm visiting has to show me the 600 partners it's about to send my data to and has to give me a way to opt out of all that is a good thing, actually, even if it's an extra click for me

It's good they are required to show it. It's bad they are sharing the data in the first place. If you need a cookie banner I assume you are doing something shady. For legitimate uses like login cookies you don't need it

The problem is why you have to do it for every single website. Normally, there should be a way to save your preference in the browser, and the websites should read that. This is already a solved problem in the iOS ecosystem for apps.

I actually appreciate that websites have to legally disclose just how little they respect me. It adjusts my perspective on how much I need to respect them
