How PrivacyPill handles this

Nothing optional runs before a choice. Google tags start with Consent Mode v2 set to denied; other scripts marked with data-pp-category wait until their category is allowed.
Equal first-layer buttons. "Accept all" and "Reject non-essential" sit side by side with the same weight, and a settings button lets visitors withdraw consent at any time.
Consent per purpose. Analytics, marketing and functional cookies can be allowed separately in the preferences panel.
Languages. Romanian isn't built in yet — rewrite the English texts in the customizer to show your own translation.
Proof of consent. Every choice is logged pseudonymously with the banner version, exportable as CSV.
