Where is it written that EU citizens can refuse cookies? As far as I know one must inform that cookies are stored and for what purpose.

If those cookies are not necessary for operating, like tracking cookies, you have to ask the user before you set the cookie. If you ask, you have to be specific for what the cookie is used. The checkbox or slider has not to be prechecked. You also have to provide a way to the user to withdraw his consent. And you have to keep an audit trail for the given consent.
