Another ridiculous half measure that I need to actively engage with a website to avoid being harvested.

They should have made websites not track be default. If I want to be tracked, then I can go and hunt down a link for the pleasure.

Do not track is the default position. However websites really want to track you. They choose to gate their website behind that popup.

Remember you can follow gdpr without these popups on your website.
