Unfortunately, when someone thought cookies problematic, instead of a pragmatic solution (such as extending the syntax to support identifying the use-case for each cookie, and allowing browsers to default treatment thereof without other than initial user-intervention) the world decided it was better to panic and put nag dialogs on everything to "show" that they're pretending to be compliant.
Your web browser does not even have to "announce" anything, if there were categories of cookies "required", "optional features", "tracking" then the browser could simply chose to ignore those you don't want..
Sure sites could ignore that and do everything with the "required" ones, but.. they can do that today as well, the nag dialogs are pure kabuki anyway.
To be honest, at this point, I'd much rather have "all you can track" be default if it meant I could avoid the nag dialogs.. It's not like they can't track me without cookies, and I can always browse in privacy mode and use different browser profiles to isolate cookies in the rare cases where I actually care.
But the nag dialogs are actually there and actively annoying every time I visit some site. They make my everyday experience worse, where even the evilest of tracking wouldn't even be very visible to me..
