I think a much stronger solution would be to require all browsers to disable cookies by default, and let the user opt into websites that you need to sign into.
In its current state GDPR has effectively just littered the website with popups that don't let you disable "functional" cookies in the popup. Functional my ass. The pages work fine without them. I disable all cookies except on a short list of sites I need to log in. Unfortunate side effect is the goddamn GDPR popups keep popping up on all those news sites.
