As much as I find the "consent" provisions in the GDPR meaningless and annoying, I don't think that we improve things by loading more decisions like this on the people who are least empowered, informed, equipped, or inclined to deal with those decisions. For instance, if we think that a cap on duration is sensible, browser-makers can implement that cap. Asking questions tends to lead more to social engineering than it does positive results. So yeah, this isn't easy.
