My excitement is tempered by two things, the ultra cost being a subscription (I get the "why" I just hate more subscriptions) and also the pretty crappy targeted adverts "consent" whereby you have to scroll through page after page of third party vendors to turn off the "legitimate" interest which is, let's be honest their way around consent by just ignoring what you want. That's put me right off in all honesty sorry.
It's amazing how many cookie consent banners aren't compliant. There has to be a button where you can clearly reject all, where it has equal look and feel as accept all. By default all non required cookies must be disabled, but the fact we can turn off the legitimate interest options shows they're not required, and so they're not compliant.
Basically every banner should have a reject button that's just as clear as the accept. I'd you're going through any extra effort to reject then it's not compliant.
I always struggle with the bbc's one.. I always lose patience before I've ever figured out how to reject all
