It would be less annoying if you could easily tell it that you don't want garbage. Instead, when you select your preferences you have to go through a whole list of options. By the time you're finished customizing your cookie preferences you've forgotten why the hell you went to the page and what the hell the page is. It's ridiculous. It should be as simple as having two buttons: one for accepting the site's default garbage and another for for rejecting the site's default garbage.
The browser extension Consent-o-matic does this and was developed with money from the European Commission.
