Frankly at this point all I want is a way to signal "Yes I have looked at the cookie settings in my browser and I know what I'm doing".

There is at least one way that I know of to realize your dream. First, disable "do-not-track" header in your browser. Secondly, lobby for organizations to honor the "do-not-track" header. The whole world will thank you.

How does disabling the do-not-track header help me? I can't indicate that I take responsibility for handling the cookies by not sending a header, that would be passive 'consent' which doesn't qualify.

Also it's not that I'm consenting to being tracked I just don't care whether they set cookies as I will delete them automatically anyway. That's very different from telling them to go ahead and figure out my identity.

Use on of the anti cookie consent banner blocklists with your ad blocker?

I mean I do, but some of them still get through.
