Agreed. Cookie permissions should be handled on the browser side, similarly to how e.g. webcam permissions are handled. Would allow for a "don't ask me again" response that doesn't itself rely on cookies.
I'd love this, cookie banners are a plague and the ones that get through my adblocker get manually blacklisted on sight.

It's like the words "alarm fatigue" never appeared in their analysis of the situation.
