It would be nice if the options weren't like "Enable all cookies" and "navigate 4 menus that try to convince you to enable all cookies."
AFAIK the regulation already says that the "only necessary" should be available with one click. I think the issue is that it's difficult to go after all the small pages that are breaking the law. The big ones like YT of Google already have the 'disable all' button on top, I'm guessing because EU complained.
It doesn't say that it should be available with one click.
It says that accepting should be just as easy as declining. Which also includes things like not being allowed to have a "greyed out" button to reject while the accept button is big and sparkly.
Yes, I think you're right. And everything should be disabled by default, right? So the pages that make you do 'configure -> disable all -> save' definitely don't follow the rules.
It depends on the country. GDPR is not a law. It's a framework that countries use to implement national laws. GDPR doesn't say anything about one-click rejection, but some countries added it to their national law.
I want an "only necessary cookies except one cookie to remember I clicked this option" button available with one click.
