RE: Batch closing of TPE related issues

Rigo,

Could you please opine on the proposal to allow OOBC to be recorded in the UGE registry with a pointer to the control mechanism?  This appears to be the middle ground that would give users a consolidated place to view exceptions/OOBC and have direct links to exercise their choices.  This is NOT equating UGE to OOBC - but does give users centralized control.  Thoughts?

Matthias, have you ever tried to revoke your consent or to opt out of one of those ridiculous UK ICO cookie banners? 

I think that a UGE MUST NOT be translated into OOBC, a user MUST be able to revoke UGE by deleting the exception in the store. 

The whole point of DNT is a centralized opt-out in the browser. This means Shane's local duplication is meaningless. It may only serve as a memory for some historical state, but MUST NOT overwrite the status of the UGE store in the browser. Otherwise the exercise is futile because Johnny can't opt out anymore.
