....some of the most difficult locks to pick can be those that are just 'buggy' and worn. The kind where you need to lift your key or rattle it in the lock just-so to get it to open :-)
The scummy business model used by advertisers is to deliberately make it inconvenient to opt out of their tracking.
All that is needed by GDPR is a simple 'tick yes' to opt in to tracking if you wish to be tracked or personally identified. (No need to ask permission for 'ordinary' cookies).
You should ask yourself why you are doing business with companies with such as shady business model.
I know it’s deliberate, but let’s be honest why would we expect them to make it simple when it isn’t in their interests. I’m saying take it out of their hands now and give users the control they need.
Why they are considered as such by many on here (alongside AirBNB to mention another name) is either a source of puzzlement, or a triumph of marketing, depending who you ask.
These systems are all still capable of returning a position of (0,0) though. My point was that if it becomes commonplace for software to filter points around “null island” then that would gradually permeate various libraries and create a little blind spot
HOWEVER, if you are using those cookies to track or spy on me (advertisers take a bow) then you need to ask my explicit permission to do so. And so you should.
(Take away your scummy business model, and you remove the need for cookie banners).
