Super glad to see this!
Given how simple, trustable, and verifiable it is for the browser to simply enforce the user's 'privacy' preferences by means of dropping unwanted cookies on the ground as soon as the user leaves the site, I am irritated that this wasn't the solution arrived upon many years ago instead of the asinine "This site uses cookies, allow?" warnings that GDPR and CCPA brought upon us. Those, by contrast, are (allegedly) trying to solve a problem inside the website context itself, despite the fact that the APIs they need to use for actually managing cookies are archaic and limited, and also despite the fact that they actually have to remember you to remember your so-called "cookie preferences."
A cookie shouldn't be mentally-modeled like a tattoo, it should be modeled like a leaflet you're handed on the street. You can ignore it, or you can pretend to take it and dispose of it immediately or as soon as you leave. This is the way it should be.
