    Yeah. GDPR should have been implemented as a mandatory part of HTML or even HTTP that interacts with a builtin browser feature. Let the user make the choice once, in the browser, and let the browser tell the visited site what’s allowed. Statutory compliance would mean something like

    • browser detects and warns about cookies which do not appear to be in compliance with user’s preferences (optionally: browser can block cookies which do not appear to be in compliance)
    • browser detects sites which do not implement the spec at all, and warns the user about that
    • regulatory body checks for compliance on any site with over X number of users
    • regulatory body checks major browsers for compliance
    • any combination or all of the above
