No, just GDPR? I don't see any valid reason a user might want to "opt out" of anti-fraud legislation but I do see a reason why a user might want to access the non-GDPR web.

How would you write such a law?

You can't make exceptions based on what's convenient for some business.

Why should GDPR be opt-in but not the consumer minimum 2-year guarantee against faulty products?

To commit frauds, for example?

    I also believe that should be opt-in.

    Fraud implies an unwilling party, a victim. Not comparable at all to what I'm suggesting.

      But that is irrelevant, we European citizens are happy to have it.

      And actually fought to have it.

      It's a consumer protection law, what you want is consumers with less or no protections.

      I'm quite sure the majority of users visiting a website that hosts GA are giving away their data unwillingly.

      Would you opt-in theft too?
