GPDR consent : does it *have* to be a pop-up ?

I'm currently involved in a web accessibility project.

Web sites of businesses and organisation based somewhere in the Eu must obtain cookie consent from their users.

I've seen only one tool used to express consent : pop-up.

Under GPDR user must mark their consent by expressing a "clear positive action".

Accessibility problem : cookie consent pop-up are not "seen" by the accessibility tools (one cannot navigate towards it by using a keyboard only).

Have you seen a cookie-consent method that is not a pop-up ? Any way you would make a pop-up accessibility-friendly ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello Baudouin,

IF you don't mind, can you please share a screen shot? Because there are different ways to show the consent.
