I really miss Opera's site-specific settings.
IMO, the web has gotten considerably worse in the last few years.

I highly recommend gorhill's umatrix, it's perfect. Alternatively you could give this a try: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/site-specific...
AFAIK Firefox also has site specific settings hidden somewhere but I am not sure.
RIP Opera 12... I wish they'd just freely release the sources.

Firefox had site-specific settings...
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/...
...and there was even a bug to create a nice UI for it...
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38966
...but look at the last comment on that bug. :(
Interestingly enough, IE11 still contains much the same UI for white/black/default-listing sites in different zones with configurable options that has been there since at least IE4:

(Opera, before it turned into yet-another-webkit-browser - and removed that very useful feature.)
Since I have JS (and cookies) off by default I don't get the cookie messages much if at all, but for sites which need JS or cookies, it's almost trivial to enable them immediately.
