I think you have read the wrong law and I have have read the right one, as the cookie handling requirements are defined in the ePrivacy Directive of 2002 and amended in 2009, not the GDPR. You can start here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:02002L0058-20091219&from=EN https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELE... You will discover under section (17), that the lawmaker does - in fact - force everyone to give specific and informed consent. Which means that each and every website has to provide me a wall of informative text and a specific button to click. Aka: nag me. I am not allowed to give a blanket "accept all" or "reject all" or "accept analytics, reject marketing" consent for all websites as this would be categorised as "uninformed and unspecific" consent, which is illegal. So the EU is responsible.

You are wrong. Such things are not forbidden, just not implemented. Again, a corporation is free to make a consumer-friendly solution that applies to everyone. But why would they? They'd expend effort just to annoy you less and let's face it, you're ready to accept any amount of annoying as long as you get what you want. Edit: And besides, the point of this is analytics is unnecessary. As such, a company could opt not to have it. No consent required for an absence. They don't have to nag you for nothing.
