Doing it properly requires actually complying with the GDPR - deferring non-essential data processing until consent has been given, storing that consent status somewhere, etc.

Or, you can just do the fake-compliance approach by slapping the same cookie banner everyone else uses and call it a day.

> it allows the anti-pattern of using confusing language to confuse people

FYI, that is not compliant either, but again, we've already established 90% of the players out there don't bother with real compliance and just do what everyone else does - and it works, because enforcement doesn't really exist anyway.
