Yeah, I guess it's not that I don't want to accept cookies, it's that I don't want to reject them either (I'd rather close the tab than do either one.)

This sounds like GDPR is a bad thing for people like me, but I view it as a long game: as sites see increased bounce rates due to cookie popups, maybe it'll change the equation in favor of not having tracking cookies in the first place. I feel like I'm doing my part to help create that future every time I close the tab when getting nagged about cookies.

(And GDPR doesn't require dialogs about all cookies, you're allowed to use cookies to have sessions/logons without nagging.)
