before you just used your favorite plugin and be done with it. you can't do that anymore, because you now have to allow for a cookie saying you don't want their cookies and you have to trust them to respect that. if that cookie is not there, they will bother you for the rest of their lives.

that is ignoring that you would have to individually opt out of every single one of their one million legitimate business partners.
