Is there an accept all cookies version of this? Reject all is pointless. You can do it in browser already. You need cookies to hold a login session - folks who try to get websites to block cookies - it doesn't make sense and isn't what most folks want (I need login, shopping cart etc).

  > Reject all is pointless. You can do it in browser already. No, you can’t. You can block cookies. GPC enables the ”I reject” signal, so websites that honor GPC don’t have to ask you (i.e., no cookie banner)..

    "Do Not Track" header was used to track users, and removed. GPC will be used to do the same.

      Any HTTP header can be used to build a fingerprint. Should we remove HTTP headers because of that? No.

  There is a crucial difference between login session cookies and personal tracking cookies for ads. You don't even need consent for login session cookies, provided that is all they are used for. Because the user is already asking the site to remember who they are. Similarly for a shopping cart, as the user is asking the site to remember selected items. "Reject all for privacy" is about rejecting personal tracking cookies for ads, usually while keeping essential login and shopping cart cookies.

    Please note that some (many) people don't care - they don't want these browser pop-ups, they understand that cookies aren't the only way profiles are built etc etc. The problem is the zealots here are souring generations on actual user control of data by endlessly requiring more and more notices and popups. Don't annoy 95% of users so some random subgroup can feel smug about themselves. It seems every CA company now sends me - via PAPER MAIL - a privacy notice of privacy practices. I DON'T CARE. There are no teeth in any of this. Even if there were people don't care.

      The people who want more privacy - including zealots - also don't want the notices, popups, options, etc. It's a mistake to think privacy zealots are requiring all those things. They are not; they don't want them. And so they are not to blame for them. They do want to be able to find out what commitments a company is binding itself to, to be able to hold the company accountable under the law, which acts to curtail some abuses, but even that would be much preferred in the form of statutury commitments that could be assumed by default everywhere, the same way consumer protection law works. Those endless annoyances are the result of companies that are actively hostile to users who value privacy and to statutory privacy policies in general. So companies make the popups, in particular, intrusive and often difficult to reject properly. Sometimes they outright lie about the GDPR requiring some heavy duty options lists. I say companies. Usually the worst popups on a site are not from a site's own company, they are from third party surveillance-based advertising services or similar used by the company. Naturally, those third parties are the ones most actively hostile to a privacy oriented society, and on an individual level, most interested in persuading or tricking someone into accepting the tracking. With regards to CA privacy notices: Imagine how refreshing it would be if it was like consumer protection law protecting you when buying things mail order and against false advertising and faulty products. You wouldn't need to receive a privacy policy at all, because there would be a statutory privacy policy you could always assume and all companies adhered to it. Perhaps you would be able to opt out of privacy explicitly, but you always had the option to take the service without opting out of the statutory privacy policy if you wanted.
