The EU really should update the cookie law so that it applies to browsers, not sites.
After all the browser's cooperation is needed to send cookies. This should be a mandatory standard part of the browser UI.
Since there are just two browser engines in widespread consumer use, and the engines are made by two of the world's most valuable corporations (Google and Apple), requiring browsers to implement specific UI is both technically easy and politically convenient.
