You could set your browser to clear all cookies when you close it. That does mean you have to keep logging into sites every time you open the browser again, but with a password manager that's not really a problem.

gdpr is a different thing than the cookie law, refusing consent is a real thing that everyone in the industry spent a hell of a lot of time and effort implementing to the letter because the fines for companies are way too large for anyone to ignore

There's plugins that will do it for you (with the max privacy settings so you don't have to worry about getting tricked by phrasing).

You usually first get an injunction with some time to fix the issue, little risk of immediate fines.

So there is little reason to implement a working consent dialog unless you get a legal notice to do so. When the law came out we got a lot of such notices over the lack of the dialog, but after a usless dialog was implemented, it stopped.

Guess lawyers aren't that tech savy or have better things to do.

Wasn't a good read for me. A boring intro and then some speculation about possible new laws in the future, and Google Topics API mayybe making cookies obsolete.
