Do you think the goal of this company is to make it easier to opt out of tracking?
Considering Trustarc themselves have nothing to gain in allowing vendor tracking for services that use this, and the primary goal being to "ensure you remain compliant with global privacy regulations" (their words). Unless their market audience are services who want it to be as intentionally shit as possible? Maybe.
A company who wants to promote customer privacy has a very simple job, they simply don't harvest data on their customers, they don't install tracking files on people's machines. What Trustarc does for it's customers (the websites, not you) is to help them harvest as much data as possible without running afoul of the various data laws around the world. They are a compliance company, not an individual rights company.
