There are 2 kinds of websites:
1 - The bad kind where not accepting their cookies boots you off the site (And so are in breach of GDPR... IIRC)
2 - Sites that continue working, albeit in a degraded / suboptimal state, even when you refuse their cookies.

I wish more sites were of the second variety. I'm even the only person among my friends who actually bothers going through the consent forms and disallowing everything marketing-related.

OneTrust is good. It at least remembers my preferences.

    Afaik OneTrust has no "object all" or even "only necessary", instead it makes you manually object to every single item, which is considered a dick move in many cultures.

    Edit: funnily enough, their own website does have "reject all" so maybe it's per website.

    And the third which does not accept a refusal but continues to work with a popup.

    @iiii of course, when I encounter a site that doesn't accept refusal, most of the time, one can get around it through dev tools.

    Most sites are stupid, load the content first, turn put a blocking modal form window over it. Remove the window, enable scroll bar and... You're good to go.

    there's two kinds of websites:

    1) those that only use cookies that are _strictly_ neccessary, like a session token

    2) burning heaps of garbage that deserve their sourcecode printed only for the purpose of directly feeding it into a shredder.
