The GDPR is Annoying and Ineffective. Browser Ad Permissions are the Solution.

Ads are a requirement for free content. However, some websites go too far and spy on the Internet user more than they would like if they knew exactly what is going on.

As an alternative, all the different types of ads and trackers could be listed in the Browser settings as an EU required policy. Then each individual internet user can select which ads to give permissions to allow or block. These permissions would then be applied to all websites accessed with that browser.

Firefox offers their browser users an option to block certain spy ads, so I know it can be done.
