> Part of the issue, experts say, is the vague regulation has been interpreted in wildly different ways. GDPR consent-request messages vary wildly across sites

What experts? I found the law to be pretty clear and there are plenty of summarized versions out there. What some companies find confusing is that the law has made their core business model illegal and no consent form can save them. You cannot get your users to opt out via a consent form, how many times do people have to repeat this? This is nothing like the cookie law.

The only vague part of the law is the fining system which was done on purpose. If you have explicit fines then companies will have to make more money from your private data to cover the explicitly priced fine leading to a worse situation.
