Firefox can do this automatically. Options > Privacy & Security > check the box "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed".

Anything you intentionally want to retain can be added to the exceptions list.

"Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" has always bothered me; it should be "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is opened", because abnormal termination is not "closing", and you'd still want the cookies deleted when you start up again.

That way I'd lose the GDPR opt-outs from the number of sites I've gone through the process.

Perhaps I should just accept the consent and remove cookies regularly, instead of being careful with the consent forms... Hmm, good idea.
