That intrusive pop up window where you can choose what biscuits to accept is annoying. I just click accept all biscuits. I clear my biscuits quite often anyway.

Pretty much the law has done nothing but encourage nag-ware designs like what OP mentions. It's been not only possible, but trivially simple to reject and delete cookies since the earliest days of the web with a little thing called your browser's settings. Now we have browser addons that make the task even more simple and seamless.
Meanwhile, the usual suspects are continuing to operate mostly as usual, with a token fine slapped on them every so often.
California's data protection laws are similarly useless and ineffective, which isn't a surprise because they were inspired by the GDPR. If you ever use a California-based IP, go to a major website and scroll down and find the link to their "opt out of data tracking". You'll find yourself being asked for your full name and address. It's so transparent these laws were written by the people they were supposed to regulate that it isn't even funny.
