I wish there was HTTP header that meant "I want to give you the minimum amount of data, to make your site work".

Good news: no special header is necessary, this should be the default as per the GDPR.

Business pepe works just say the minimum is name, email address, etc. is the minimum in that case... And if you don't provide it, the site won't work

that can be challenged in court though.

I want one for "If your business model is advertisement, get off my Internet".

Wouldn’t this be easier to implement as a server side header that said “if you don’t like my business model get off my internet”?

Isn't this already possible with uBlock and just configuring it to not allow you to go to sites that have any trackers at all?

This is a popup I'd be happy to see.

https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ goes kind of in that direction. It's a rebranded Do Not Track header, but referencing specific privacy rights under GDPR/CCPA. That hopefully makes it enforceable, whereas advertisers could just ignore Do Not Track.

I like the idea, but that protocol is too simple. For example, I don't have too much of a problem with Matomo tracking cookies, but I don't want Google Analytics to follow me around the web.

This header doesn't specify any of that, and I'd still need to give some kind of consent through a cookie pop-up to websites that want me to use that stuff.

I'd rather see a modern version of P3P (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3P) with UI designed in this decade.
