This is an example of the potential double-edged sword of passing legislation without input from lobbyists. On one hand, without an industry voice, they passed an amazingly ambitious set of protections. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like there was a technical industry expert who warned them of the implications.
(I say that, but the EU bureaucrats that passed this law may actually see the immense numbers of popups as a win still - who knows).
A revision is patently obvious to seemingly everyone - revise the law to instead mandate that websites respect the Do Not Track header, or at least have designed a more granular replacement. There's no reason you shouldn't just be able to set it once and your browser tracks it for you.
