Thanks for pointing this out — that’s fair criticism. The CMP is coming from AdSense, but you’re right that this clashes with the “privacy-first” positioning, especially without a clear reject-all option. That’s on me to fix. I totally get your concern and for people turning away seeing this being transparent is what I want to do if they are uncomfortable sharing their preferences and cookies, then I am more uncomfortable stealing it in secret and using that for ads without their knowledge (which most of websites do). Appreciate you calling it out.
