How many people would be inclined to click on a blue box that said "Acknowledge" next to a notice that was framed as a cookie warning that instead said: "This site uses cookies. We make every effort to use best practices for building this site to modern privacy standards, but we also sell all the information we collect such as names, addresses, and credit card details to anyone we please, a list of whom you can find described in more detail in our lengthy _privacy policy_. [ Acknowledge ]". Who would believe that this comprised meaningful consent to those practices?
