Use a vpn with a Eu server. More sites like google will show a cookie popup with the "reject all cookies" option.

Reject all cookies if it exists. Otherwise accept cookies and then click on the :

shield icon > cookies and site data > delete (trash icon)

This is super useful when you want to read an article on some news website and it shows a cookie popup.

If you are using Firefox based browser get Consent-o-matic. It will actively opt you out of cookie windows instead of hiding them like others do.

    Just note that using extensions can make you vulnerable to fingerprinting.
