Why not force publishers to respect the do not track headers, and clarify what it means to not be tracked? I'm not asking for GDPR to be replaced, and I understand it covers a much wider range of issues. However, I want to say that analytics, advertising and cookies are the ones that most affect users, and are the ones that will be causing the popups everywhere online. I feel this process should be simplified, users shouldn't need to update these settings with every website they visit, and we shouldn't trust publishers to be the ones asking for consent, since they have a high interest in misleading users and finding creative ways to obtain consent, which we can already see happening.
As for your last point, there are standards being implemented related to obtaining and communicating consent (http://advertisingconsent.eu http://advertisingconsent.eu). However, these standards are being set by the ad networks, and as you would expect, they are looking out for their best interest and bottom line.
