Best way to opt out is download a list of know advertisers and use your host file to disable them. End of ads and unwanted cookies. Run across a new one well reverse dns them and add them also. It’s faster and frees resources on your pc since it don’t have to look for a specific script or opt out cookie ( who knows what else they put in those cookies?) An idea for opt out cookie that might work is mandate that advertisers on the internet have to all use the same cookie that way end user could use one cookie for all. I am not against advertising on the internet i just don’t like it shoved in my face. If i see something that interests me in a LEGITIMATE ad ill research it myself. As for me being opt in by internet default WRONG! ill block em in my host file. Done Deal!
