Somewhat related: Just yesterday the EU ePrivacy regulation took the first hurdle in Brussels. This will most likely bring some changes to the whole consent drama.
I'm not good at reading legalese and there seems to be no commentary for the current version[1] yet. What I understand is that they "encourage" browsers to implement "whitelists" (their choice of word, not mine) as a solution to "end-users [..] overloaded with requests to provide consent". I'm not sure there is an update regarding first-party analytics cookies which some hoped will be there.
