Replying to @nataliabielova and @bendrath, @mikarv, @ashk4n, @lukOlejnik

Or, put differently, automation doesn't mean that the human is out of the loop. The UA is supposed to work *for* the user, it would be a huge loss if the GDPR didn't permit that. If we had machine-readable consent descriptions, I don't see why they couldn't be "automated".
If I tell my browser "I always trust @mikarv to process my data" or "I consent to anyone processing my data for the purpose of making kittens happy" then I don't see why the browser automatically signalling that would be invalid consent.
