  The legislation should have been that sites honor DNT (or something similar) better, and you're promoted by your browser. Doing it site-by-site is a headache for both users and companies. > Almost nobody wants tracking cookies. It's complicated because a lot of people do want to stay logged into certain websites. Even if that's not "tracking," what about recommendations? Youtube does recommendations for logged-out users, and I suspect a lot of people find some value in that.

  I don't remember the site, but one single time so far a website told me "we picked minimal cookie settings for you, since you sent a Do Not Track order". Very nice.

    I have seen this in distant times as well. The one I remember most provided a link to view your opt-in choices. Clicking on it showed what the "minimal" cookies were, that actually did affect how the page worked, or fed other "features" that were non-tracking, and what ones were not included so that you could opt in to some things if you were interested in them (which I'm sure was always never). I thought it was clever and unusually honest.

  They figure out some way to spin it as "essential" or "required". They say it lets them "improve their services". As if some tracking bullshit could ever be essential to anything.
