Comply with Choose Cookies Once law (eliminates cookie popups)

[RobertViragh]

Firefox should comply with the Choose Cookies Once law mandating that browsers offer one global cookie choice and that websites honor that choice without annoying, distracting, and repetitive cookie popups.  The choice remains a user option but removes a major source of friction when visiting new sites, and will make users more productive and save a lot of time.

Users can keep the existing behavior if they love to spend a few seconds finding and clicking the same option on every new site they visit, like a game of "guess where this door opens" instead of automatic doors.

There was a recent thread about this on Reddit, screenshot here:

heheh, literally how it came up for me

full thread

The first point includes: "Before even loading the page all the annoying pop ups of do you accept cookies from partners, legitimate or not?" 

Some people in responses suggested uBlock origins is able to do this, so I tried installing the extension and visiting the top 50 websites, but the extension didn't really work on all the sites, which is the same thing other people in the thread said. So it's an existing problem, with attempted extensions-based solutions, but they don't really work.
