Since you asked: I care. I leave sites which insist on tracking me and appreciate that it is now mandatory for said sites to inform me about their intentions. So this is a solution to a problem I actually have. There are sites which place a "reject all" button above all and make this easy for me. Others try it the sneaky way, by making me turn off every single tracking vendor and then a lot more hidden under legitimate interest. Those are the sites I leave and never come back. The hurdle in question has a lot of simple solutions. 1, don't use cookies. Github does that AFAIK. 2, be transparent about your tracking intentions and use one of the several premade solutions. 3, design a dark pattern UI that hides the important switches in technical named lists and count on the laziness and confusion of users to use them. That is probably the most expensive way for a 3 person company, as you need devs and UX designers and lawyers to judge if you bended the regulation requirements just enough without breaking them.
