Nope. Companies, especially ad-tech and other stalkers and the sites/apps who use their services, are doing the shitting.

Nothing in the relevant regulations, from the EU, California, or anywhere else, in any way mandates the inconvenience that these companies are creating for you.

well, technically you are correct, since the consent is required only for non-essential cookies. which means third party / tracking cookies.
