Quite a few: https://caniuse.com/do-not-track https://caniuse.com/do-not-track
Unfortunately the spec is official deprecated, rather than just ignored by sites, because without any regulatory weight it, well, would forever just be ignored by those who want to ignore it.

So, GDPR? That is not a cookie law but governs the tracking of PII, including the right to be given a report of what is stored about you and the right to be forgotten¹. Though it isn't finer grained than that: you can have yourself removed entirely and request corrections, but it does not prescribe any option for more selective deleting.

[1] except where that would impinge on other regulation, for instance in industries my day job services companies have to keep certain details of people for certain lengths of time (indefinitely for those associated with selling pensions, for instance) for dealing with complaints and other regulator matters in the long term.

I thought you knew some browsers that support some sort of please-do-track-me-quietly. > So, GDPR? Right but about all data and all identities. You believe that holder of cookie <guid> likes cats? If my browser holds that cookie you should be forced by law to offer UI where I can see the preference for cats and possibly change it or delete it.
