At least there's a "Reject all" button.

God can you imagine.

768 collapsed areas for each one. You have to expand that area and click the small slider with a 3 second UI freeze each time you do.

Then at the end when you click apply, you get a spinning wheel with "Applying your choices" that seems like it has timed out.

Of course I can imagine, I ve used windows for thirty years now.

That's when I pop open the developer console and write some code to automate clicking them all out of spite

But half of them have a web link to go to another website’s main page, in order to manually find the overall 3rd party opt out, which it may or may not remember on the next site you visit that uses it, but you can’t tell so you better do it again anyway next time.

Even I get partway through and I wonder if I’m not getting too old for this internet shit. I guarantee most people are not bothering.

No, just make it a permanent cookie to reject so if the cookies get deleted (as they usually do) you're back to being tracked
