Same. I also treat cookies like a virus....no, no, and no again. Though I think my days are limited with that, a lot of websites now saying accept cookies or pay. I'll give up the interwebs before I accept trackers.

For articles which won't let you disable cookies there's usually an archived version somewhere. Or you use some current alternative to 12ft. Or you ask an LLM to summarize the URL.

12ft ladder has never worked for me, unfortunately. :/

Instead of manually denying cookies, you can deny all cookies and whitelist the sites you trust.

Edit: also note - websites that give you the 'option' to opt in or out may not have the same opinion on what cookies are 'optional' or 'mandatory'. Several don't even do anything and are just there to look compliant.
