The law already states that it must be as easy to deselect everything as it is to select all.

If they have a allow all button, they also need a allow only required button.

Allow only essential doesn't include analytics cookies, allow all includes everything. They should either make it easy with maximum 3 checkboxes but you can still unfold them to precisely manage, or make a button to disable only marketing cookies.
