Control which categories are accepted when users select “Accept Necessary”

[over-engineer]

I’m by no means an expert on the following regulations:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• ePrivacy Directive
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

However, as I understand it, active user consent may not always be required for data measurement (analytics) under certain conditions.

It might be worth considering to implement an option to specify which cookie categories are granted when users select the “Accept necessary” option.
