 First of all, I think this discussion is way off track. It has nothing to
 do with the proposal of the ticket, and probably you haven't understood
 what we want with this ticket either. If you want to discuss the GDPR,
 then maybe we could move the discussion somewhere else? E.g. #gdpr-
 compliance.

    What you are proposing is to deviate from what has been legal, and
 considered best practices, for the last 16 years...

 Again, this clearly shows that you haven't understood our proposal at all.

 You're promoting a different plugin while you're basing ours, without
 bringing any concrete arguments, just your misunderstood view of what we
 want here. Just so that you know, we have had a number of lawyers evaluate
 Cookiebot- for example DG Connect under the European Commission, The
 Danish Business Authority, Google, Oracle and a number of large enterprise
 customers in France, USA, Germany, UK and Denmark as well as two
 independent lawyers in Denmark. Google also recommends Cookiebot to its
 advertising partners: https://www.cookiechoices.org.

 **However, this has nothing to do with Cookiebot.**

 As a reaction to many users frustrations over their plugins not being GDPR
 compliant, we are trying to discuss a feature where plugins could get a
 user's consent state without having to rely on some other third-party
 plugins. @xkon @allendav @chirscct7 @azaozz care to comment?
