I usually right click and select an element blocker.

There was a time wayy back when a browser would prompt user when site requests to push out a cookie [up to about mid 90's AFAIR], but that was before the web was hijacked for commercial interests.

now there are often so many cookies with the typical website that a manual dialogue would waste all your user time.

so i think thats where the decision was made to include all cookies, in one broad permission setting.
