Folks - you control your browser / if cookies accepted / how long to keep them.

While scammers rip folks off for huge amounts each year (Microsoft technical support scams etc) regulators are busy with this.

I just wish there was a button that said I accept all cookies and I’d never see these damn pop ups again.

Wouldn't websites fail in obscure ways if you disabled cookies? That would mean few people would disable them, so in turn web developers wouldn't care about making the errors less obscure, etc.

I believe that the way most people who care about this issue have them enabled, but deleted when the browser is closed. Therefore nothing breaks while your browser is opened, and if you restart it, you basically get a fresh start (signed off everywhere).
