Looks like there's a cookie banner in there. The "Options" button is probably hard to find because it's only a slightly different shade of the background colour, and you'll have to manually uncheck twenty "legitimate interest" boxes hidden in a submenu. Pretty scary, indeed!

I just use private windows for every site that I don't log into. That way my cookies are all deleted at the end of the session.

I do that, too! It's a convenient way to keep the cookies you want (like the ones that keep you logged in) and discard the cookies from random shops and news websites that you don't want to keep. And my Youtube frontpage is empty, which saves me a ton of time I would otherwise waste on random videos their algorithm shows me.

I hate that those all use those damn switches instead of the default checkbox UI.

There’s no clear on or off state with the switches. They’re not accessible at all. They require extra code instead of a few lines of CSS and zero JavaScript.

They’re a scourge.

Funnily enough, GDPR/cookie laws say denying consent needs to be as easy as granting consent.
I've noticed a few websites with "Deny All" buttons next to the "Save Preferences" button. So, some people are paying attention to the law.
I'm pretty sure your country will have a site/service for reporting non-compliant websites.
