Pretty sure they collect it regardless of you disagreeing or not. Block all cookies by default always unless you are on a site where you need to log in.
The browser can be set to block all cookies but it will break a lot of sites from working.
There are extensions that will delete the cookies from a site when you load another site, or close the tab. Those are pretty good. You can whitelist the sites where you want cookies to not be deleted so you dont have to login to them all the time.
Cookies are just files stored on your computer. You just need to forbid the site from saving anything - done (all major browsers support this in some form).
If I recall, the extension tries to disagree, then just hide the popup and finally it will resort to agreeing. Works remarkably well. Sometimes there is a broken scrollbar or site but its an easy fix: Disable, disagree manually, enable.
Have your browser delete all cookies after you close it. It’s easier. You can add exceptions too.
When uou accept cookies you authorize them to collect data, just use the extension “I still don’t care about cookies”
Where I assume they collect it anyway because I didn’t disagree
