By giving them a dialog that clearly describes what they are opting in to, with a clear "I do not agree" button, that does not degrade the user's use of the website. What you should do to comply is literally in the guidance; both the old guidance and the newly published guidance.
The EU does not act like the US - if there's a piece of law, there is guidance on how to comply with that law. You follow it and you're safe, until someone publishes updated guidance.
A number of companies are betting that doing something short of what the guidance recommends will still result in a compliant website. They are in a situation where, if they attract the attention of a regulating body, they may be fined.

And what if your cat walks across the keyboard and accidentally consents, but you never even realized it? Should there be a consent banner across the top at all times? Or what if you are drunk when you are surfing the web and didn't understand your rights when you accidentally consented (drunk people can't consent - the website raped your privacy)?
- vertex-four 6y agoThen, assuming that you can evidence that you followed the guidance, and you implement the rest of the GDPR, which gives the person in question a mechanism to revoke their consent, you're pretty much definitely fine. You realise that we're not out on a witch hunt here, right?
