The main defense against tracking used to be (in addition to more modern anti-tracking features) to configure the browser to remove cookies when exiting it.

With the big dialogs that one systematically finds at websites now, in practice you are being forced to accept those cookies, if only to avoid seeing those monster dialogs again.

So in practice the EU is massively driving people to accept permanent cookies. That's IMHO a valid reason to complain about GDPR.

The cookies dialogs have nothing to do with GDPR.
