    It should be just a browser option.

    You set cookies on or off, ans the browser sends the option in the headers. Websites just need to take the option from the header instead of a banner.

      There are addons (for firefox at least) where the cookie banner will come up but your browser auotmatically refuses all cookies.

        Yes, but it often doesn’t work and even when it does the site is unusable while it works, which for some particularly awful banners is several minutes. The situation is worse on mobile where most people have a browser that you can’t install add-ons to (and I’m not sure if that one works in firefox mobile anyway)

      Am I mistaken in believing it is an already a browser option?

      Off the top of my head Qutebrowser and Falkon both support not-saving 3rd party cookies.

        Your browser can not save third party cookies, but it might break some sites. Some advertising situations allow the use of first-party cookies, and blocking first-party cookies will break most sites.

        In either case you will still have to fill out the consent form, and if the consent is stored in the kind of storage you block, then you will have to fill it out every single time you visit.

      The DuckDuckGo browser has this baked in as ‘Cookie Pop-up Protection’. It doesn’t quite get rid of them all, and doesn’t let you set a default for what you want (it’ll basically pick the most privacy-forward option) but I’ve found it works pretty well.
