If you click disagree, the site just doesn’t work at all. Instead, gadgethacks.com shows you this.

You know, normal sites make you accept the bare minimum that is required for the site to function, and give you an option to accept or reject all the tracking cancer and advertising plague.

I've been using CAD (Cookie-AutoDelete) to do exactly that:

Edit: I'm well aware that FireFox/Chrome support this natively, but with this I can share my exclusion rules between browsers and devices, albeit with manual import/exports.

On my iPhone, I use Firefox Focus as my default browser. It deletes all cookies after every session!

Firefox and Chromium do support what this extension does natively.

White listing cookies is the way to go. Everything else just gets deleted after a few seconds.
