There is also `Do Not Track` header but it is not respected by most of websites.
You can also reject all cookies in any web browser, but then majority of web pages will not work properly.
So I get a lot of cookie policy banners and I always click the full 'accept all' option because at best it'll just eat into their database storage and I'll arrive with no stored cookies the next time I visit the site.
The browser allows me to accept all cookies or non-third-party cookies automatically but I still get these stupid cookie policy banners that cover half the screen at the worst.
I'd really like a standardized way to accept all cookie policies with no questions asked.
(And, for the matter, something that automatically says 'no' each and every time a site decides that the best first thing to do is to ask me to give some feedback of the site before I've even used the said site.)
Also, having too many extensions slows down the browser (because they need to parse/manipulate DOM) and extensions themselves are also a security/privacy risk and finding the good ones for every browser can be tedious.
Besides, my mom has no idea what's "a browser extension".
Most people just need one extension: uBlock Origin (or built-in Opera/Brave adblock) with a filter list from prebake.eu. No more ads and cookie banners. Easy as that.

They're not allowed to make it harder to withdraw consent than to give it.
I've also found, on the few times I humoured their "consent" system, found that each of these "tracking providers" (?) needed to make a request to a different domain to withdraw consent, and some of them simply wouldn't load.
That's basically what happens in private mode (incognito), I guess. Would be nice if browsers used private mode by default, and you could "whitelist" certain sites you trust / want to remember your login.
The naivety of this approach almost makes me laugh. I mean, it's good intention, but really we cannot just trust the "bad" party. Active client-side measures are needed (e.g. as Safari does).
