Privacy regulations that can be satisfied by merely changing the text on a privacy policy that nobody is actually expected to read are not useful privacy regulations. Useful privacy regulations must be sufficient to force changes in how a business is run. If a company is stalking me across every major webpage, then adding implied consent to a privacy policy on that company's webpage does nothing to restore my privacy.
I think the GDPR comes closest to what I would want, with the requirement for explicit, informed, and freely given consent prior to any data collection that isn't strictly necessary for the site to function, and that access to the site can't be conditional on giving consent. What I'd want in addition is far stricter enforcement of it, such as heavy fines on every site that thinks a banner saying "Continued use of this site constitutes consent." is satisfies any of the conditions required.
