I for one, prefer not to be harassed by popups all day. What you propose is EU check for cookies, EU check for privacy statement, GPS check accelerometer check, keyboard check? Ok, now we are getting a little ridiculous. If keyboard usage can be checked, that would be a warning for nearly every website. This reminds me of the app usage warnings on Android, which request access for every phone function. Or in California, the "Known to the state of California to cause cancer" notices that are in literally every restaurant. When everything has a warning sign on it, nothing does. Opt-in just trains the user to ignore all of the prompts. A better solution in my opinion, would be to improve browser security and don't allow these APIs to be exploited beyond narrow use cases. In the interim, extensions could be used to reduce the effectiveness of all manner of data collecting. There also is something to be said about user habits. For example, some websites are very intrusive with ads. My solution? I don't visit that site and find the information elsewhere. This is where extensions or browser features would be great. What if we created a privacy index on each site? Then the user could choose whether a visit to that site is necessary.
