- To consent, one must be informed, so the sites would have to advertise adblockers, why they exist and how can they be used.
- Current adblockers rely on volunteers compiling lists of ads, and sites trying to evade those lists. That's not a reasonable way to ensure a legal right, so sites / networks would have to publish those lists themselves.
- The GDPR is about way more than website access tracking, so you'd still need all the same rules about the rest of the use of personal information. Seems like a duplication of effort and complexity.
> - users could consent once for each tracker if thats what the law cared for.
Just because I'm OK with a network knowing I visit nytimes.com doesn't mean I'm OK with them knowing (and using the information) that I visit pornhub.com. Consent per site is crucial.
