I wish there was a browser extension that would file a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office for me whenever I encounter one!

The ICO is the UK's regulator. Complaints can be made online: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/cookies/

is this a real possibility? can you file a complaint online?

> can you file a complaint online?

Via email, yes.

I just saw that that's UK, I guess one would have to file per country, or in multiple countries? There is no EU-wide point to file complaints?

There is: https://edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our-role-supervisor/c...

There is also an online dispute resolution center: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

This allows you to complain about a European company if you deal with it from another EU country.

The first one isn't what you think it is. It is, AFAIK, only for complaints against EU institutions. For everything else (national, local, private and non profit entities) you need to contact the relevant national data protection authority

You only need to know who your own regulator is for the country you live in. You file complaints to your regulator, and they collaborate with the regulator for the country where the company is established. This is called the "One-Stop Shop Mechanism" for GDPR: both consumers and companies only have one regulator to contact.
