French CEO of Gimii and Cookies for Good, writing on consent-management systems.
The basic idea is appealing: instead of clicking on a different banner on every site, the user configures their preferences once in their browser, which then sends an automatic signal to the sites visited. No more consent fatigue, no more dark patterns. On paper, everyone wins. Except that no technical standard exists for this signal. And that is a detail that changes everything.
