A serious law would be like (but in legalese):

  • By default you CANNOT use tracking cookies
  • If you want to use them you should have a Table that classify them based on how much fingerprint do they take
  • Then you have to explicitly ask the user in the most clear and unintrusive way possible if you can track them
  • And the consent should last 30 days max

Sounds like the current law, except for the last point. The problem is with enforcing compliance.
