Comment (by paapst):

 I don't agree with the fact that this ticket is being presented as a
 milestone for the Consent API. The proposal for the WP Consent API is not,
 and I repeat ** is not** ,  a proposal for implementing a consent
 management system in core. It is only a small and simple plugin
 (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-consent-api/) to facilitate the
 communication between the existing consent management systems such as
 Cookiebot, Complianz or GDPR Cookie Consent, and plugins or themes that
 place cookies or that make use of local storage or other resources. As can
 be seen in the proposal the API does not store the consent choice. This is
 why the consent API does not need a UI, and does not need to be able to do
 all the things the consent management systems already are offering.
 In the proposal we have already mentioned that some of the functionalities
 that are offered by consent management systems would be too intrusive to
 do in core, because certain functionalities are not applicable to all
 users due to different cookielaws around the world.

 Now, if it is really necessary to do something special for logged-in users
 (and yes I do have my doubts about that), I think that the proposal for
 that new functionality and the current ticket should be treated separate
 from the original proposal for the Consent API.
