I think the Browser could just send a header specifying the types of Cookies it accepts, configurable by the user. One might come up with a few of categories of cookies, and there is already the Do-Not-Track header. The site then doesn't have to store the preferences in a Cookie. The problem here is that some Browser manufacturers might just set default consent (it really should be asked of the user once a new profile is created and changed later, with a per-site override).

Re: which can unmask CNAME shenanigans
As the name implies, an A record points to an IP address, not another domain. It's possible, but less practical, the tracker slingers would have to get the other party to update the record any time the IP address of their tracker server changes, which can be quite often when using cloud services.
