Europe's Software Problem

Well then - cookie popups that must be clicked every time you visit a website until you accept them, must be ok with you, since "this is how it's supposed to work under GDPR".

Sorry, but I don't agree. I consider them a scourge on today's Internet. And I find them a horribly steep price for the "privacy" (really just a lousy IP address obfuscation) you gain in their stead.

You don't have to click it every time. Just once.

The choice can be perfectly well saved in a cookie because it's a cookie necessary for site operations. They don't even need approval. Only unnecessary ones do.

So you can save the user's "No cookies" preference in a cookie? Right.

Yes, right. As in, absolutely nothing wrong with that. What's so hard to understand about this?
