Most doesn't event know what cookies too. In fact, most doesn't put extra thought into the things they are clicking/accepting on web.

Because of this, I found it odd that the regulation allows displaying the accept cookies button. Instead, it should be rejecting cookies by default and a separate flow to accept tracking cookies (e.g. via account settings page)

Why not have all tracking disabled by default by law and have users opt in through Settings menus?

That's exactly my point. Sorry about the poor wording
