This could have easily been a requirement for web browsers.
Imagine if instead of the obnoxious cookie banner, browsers ship with a default “don’t accept cookies” or “don’t accept 3rd party cookies” setting. When a website needs to establish a session, the browser would prompt the user, “this website uses cookies to track…”
If the user gets annoyed with that setting, they could change the default to let any website use cookies.
It’s really obnoxious how this issues was pushed into website operators and not browsers.
