 Hello,

 Currently, with the GDPR updates for the comments form there's been the
 addition of the opt-in for cookies.
 And I noticed in this thread
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43436#comment:11) that you can
 opt-out by unchecking that box but it requires you post a comment.

 It would be nice to provide a mechnism even a link beside that checkbox
 text which allows a user to opt-out of the commenter cookies without
 needing them to post a comment.
 Maybe just a (opt-out) link beside it which clears the cookies.

 It might also be a good idea in the removal request confirmation email to
 provide a link so users can purge their commenter cookie after their data
 was removed.

 Thanks
