Chris, I hope you do not argue for making granting an exception as difficult as enabling DNT in the Chrome (Alpha!) implementation (And I'm sure they will do better over time, so this is not a political statement on Chrome). This "are you sure?" - "are you really sure?" - "are you really really sure? " would also apply to the exception granting. We can't have two definitions of consent (one to enable DNT and one to grant an exception). So it always cuts two ways. As I want to safe my global considerations work and make it future proof, I would rather bet on easy consent than on difficult DNT enabling. But this remains my personal preference. I hope others will join me in saying that we need a good consent mechanism and not stand in the user's way with complex and burdensome dialogs for DNT or exceptions.
