But I don't want to deal with "Accept All" and "Decline All" either.

First, I, the user, am requesting to open the website. It's not the website imposing on me. My browser, which supposedly is under my control, is what forwards all the data.

Second, there is absolutely no way to know whether the website actually does what it says based on the cookie pop up. If it's a website based outside the EU then there's no way to enforce this cookie pop up.

But if the browser handles this, then there is a way to enforce it. Of course, the downside there is that the website will then use other means to potentially collect the data, meaning that you still need the law to limit such data collection.
