Repetative prompts, and an ineffective response to their refusal, is the problem, not the need for consent (which is a human right). The alternatives are to regulate the popups, to ban the behavioural advertising business model, or locate the consent aspect in the user agent. Both of the first require careful drafting and much better enforcement than what we have seen in the past, though that is improving. Fortunately the need for the algorithms to be executed in the browser means that it is the natural place to implement consent. A simple user-defined browser setting, defaulting to off, would do it, pehaps augmented by browser mediated and rare prompts on a per site basis, with browsers competing to provide non annoying UI for them. -- GitHub Notification of comment by michael-oneill Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/patcg/proposals/issues/5#issuecomment-1048678201 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
