GDPRv2 must include a rule to force websites to follow one single global user setting automatically given by the browser, like the "do not track" thing

Once I found the Super Agent extension, this essentially went away for me. Let's you preset general options of what you want to allow, and will automatically fill those out for you when you visit new sites. Even works on the Firefox mobile browsers.

Just so you know: GDPR has (mostly) nothing to do with those cookie banners. It's a very broad text that doesn't go into specifics like that.
What you're seeing is a result of the 2002 E-Privacy directive that has been reinterpreted by data privacy authorities in light of the new definition of consent brought by the GDPR.
Basically, since 2002, websites are required to ask users for consent before depositing cookies. The issue was that there was no definition of what this consent meant. What the GDPR did is simply to define the concept of consent as a free expression of will that must come from a positive act (i.e. it must be explicit rather than implicit).
The GDPR was supposed to come out with a sister regulation called the E-Privacy regulation, but due to intense lobbying that text was buried. Local data protection authorities in Europe then decided to reinterpret that old directive in light of the GDPR to fill the gap.
All in all, blame the lobbyists, not the GDPR

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Dont blame gdpr for that, blame the corporations for malicious compliance. They are also already breaking the law if you cant reject everything with one click and if doing so breaks the website.

nearly all websites implement cookie banners illegally, by intention, and that's not the fault of the GDPR

And after all that, sites still wouldn't have to use cookie banners like they do, they are just choosing to, to annoy people into giving "consent".
