I notice that on your “one side”, you have the cost of the rebuild — but not the “projected cost of keeping this thing and maintaining it”. That’s a common fallacy of programming: the existing code is convoluted and hard ti maintain, but

If withdrawing is meant to be “undo consent”, how would you make that as easy as the initial “one click to consent”? Would you not have to show a banner on every page view, with a one click option to “withdraw”?
