All of those are thanks to the EU.

Totally pointless garbage that further train "Click OK" behaviour (after decades of Microsoft's existing conditioning) and enable malicious parties to take advantage of that behaviour.

Thanks to EU we are aware that plain text website is tracking us.

Yes, blame the EU. It's never the greedy websites that are at fault.

This one actually goes against GDPR since it has no "reject all" button on it.

Bullshit.

There is absolutely nothing in the GDPR that prevents web sites from not using tracking (or other) cookies.
