GDPR consent buttons and statements are as worthless as the California Proposition 65 cancer warning that gets slapped on every consumer product. Any plugins to strip them out or automatically consent?
* explicitly opt-in, so no action from the user means they shouldn't be tracked - pre-ticked checkboxes are not allowed
* it should be as easy to opt-in as to opt-out, so approaches like a big "accept tracking" button but a "learn more" or putting the deny option in the fine print isn't allowed
* needs to be "informed consent", so the user should be made fully aware of what data will be collected and how it will be used
* needs to be granular, so the user should be allowed to decide what data to provide and for what purpose
* optional - you are not allowed to deny/degrade the service if the user does not consent to tracking
The problem is that the GDPR is not being enforced properly. The annoyances you are facing would not be a thing if the law was enforced. It explicitly learned from the earlier "cookie law" which merely enforced disclosure and led to stupid & useless cookie banners with no easy way for the user to actually act on them.
No, that is literally impossible. If you only press the consent button because it's easier, you didn't consent.
