in fact the current cookie laws changed nothing, but they forced browser manufacturers to handle this crappy dialogs, either like firefox or by extension. this allow first/block last is seriously not user friendly. most cookies has only tracking purpose, not to save user preferences. jeez, my total block list in ublock is really, really long, and still grows.
I have said it before, but the idiots responsible for these useless cookie banners that have plagued the web for 10 years or longer, should all be thrown into jail. I hope they will soon fix it by a standard one-time setting in browsers.
