Does the GDPR mandate that web sites provide access to cookie settings?
<p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56202265/do-websites-need-to-implement-custom-cookie-controls-for-the-gdpr-or-are-these-c">Cross referenced this question with SO just to get more technical perspective</a></p>

<p><a href="https://www.cookiebot.com/en/google-analytics-gdpr/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">In this article</a> it says with respect to:</p>

<h3>Google Analytics and GDPR consent to cookies and tracking:</h3>

<blockquote>
  <p>Based on a true choice. The user must be able to opt out of all but the strictly necessary cookies and still use the site.
  Retrievable. The user must have access to their settings and make changes to what cookies they want to accept and reject.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Is it the responsibility of the site to implement this or is this something that the user should be able to do via the browser?</p>

<p>You do it via the site. I don't know how a browser would let you opt out in the way described.</p>

<p>Also you would not know if the user is using a browser that would let them do this even if most of the popular ones do. Who says the user didn't code their own browser or that they aren't on a computer at work that has the settings disabled?</p>

<p>There could be situations where doing it from the browser is not possible.  </p>
