Comment (by xkon):

 @allendav I have not yet seen anybody requiring consents before the
 website loads. So basically all cookies are already set at start either
 you consent or not. The difference is that they are removed if you choose
 not to consent and not droped again. Not even the regulating authorities
 themselved do it ( if that makes a point :D ).

 But, If we are to follow this concept should we create something like
 `wp_add_privacy_policy_content()` that gathers all cookie info into a nice
 list / modal like the one that cookiebot.com is producing ?

 Although I'm saying again a straight up modal from core will be very
 intrusive to some themes etc. So we have to figure out a way or add an
 option somewhere to enable/disable it at least and provide al the
 necessary CSS and stuff so everybody can theme it if they like.

 That's why I'm still not really sure about a full modal and prefer to add
 footer links for bundled themes that are `core` for starters and maybe we
 can review it in the future again.
