From my experience, I think the average user treats the browser and the internet as a black box anyway, they don't reason about what is happening. As long as they can get to what they want, they don't really care what happens in between. Cookie notices get in the way, and therefore annoy them. Most also just accept the fact that there data gets leaked everywhere and there's not much that they can do about it. I genuinely don't believe that the average user can make sense of the TOS that they agree to when signing up for something... This is definitely not a good thing, and should change, but I also believe that ad-driven companies will continue to find a way, we just continue to rack up operating complexity, which in turn, favours large companies. This ruling seems like a pretty weird and unhelpful way (in the grand scheme of things) of helping protect user privacy, but then again, that was not the goal of the lawsuit.
