Can we get the do-not-track header instead?

Because that made more sense than the cookie banner ever did.

Edit: it looks like there is a legal alternative now: Global Privacy Control.

Or a new, opt-in "Do-Track" that means consent to tracking, and anything else means tracking is not allowed. Why should it opt-out?

As long as there is Do-Not-Track as well, and companies must follow BOTH, this would be ok by me.

But this one alone opens the door to behavior similar to tracking cookies, where accepting all was easy and not accepting was hard af.

Instead of a different cookie pop-up on every single site you visit

This is the central browser control. The header is how the browser communicates it to the websites.

This very article is about how we're getting a central browser control, and your comment was "can we finally get a central browser control instead?".
