No, but if they have other cookies, the options range between “yes” and “only essential”. The popup is for the other ones, but it also notifies you that you won’t get zero, which they kinda do need to say if the popup shows up.
So you log again every single time you visit a website? I don’t get the Luddite-y response people have when someone mentions cookies, ones that aren’t cross-site don’t impair your privacy.
Yup, every single time. Not hard when you use a password manager.
Also, lmao, how the hell is rejecting cookies, something that corporations have exploited to make the internet an increasinly hostile place, a “Luddite-y” response? Read up on the Luddites sometime. They are wildly mischaracterized. They weren’t anti-progress like people have been propogandized to believe, they were anti-exploitation of workers.
Actually, now that I think about it, that is a Luddite-y response, and I’m damn proud of it.
I don’t use standard Firefox since they started enshitifying, but looking at it, it looks like they basically sandbox each website so that they can’t see each others cookies. If that solution works for you, then go for it! But every website you visit is still leaving those cookies, and I’d personally rather purge them all and start fresh each session so I know there’s no funny business going on.

Any Firefox forks should have this option; even Chrome (and Chromium) has it.
All a website with only first-party cookies can learn about you is “I’ve seen this user before”, which is only an issue if you’re worried a news site or something is trying to discern your private information from the articles you read, but for me the convenience of first-party cookies is worth it. I can see why you’d keep them disabled though.
Some cookies are useful, like the ones keeping you logged in. Not all cookies are created with the sole purpose of tracking you.
And no law on the planet requires a notification for those kinds of cookies.

I can just log back in when I need to be, thank you.

Aye that’s fair, my comparison was too much of a hyperbole. But why not just block cross-site cookies?
Because there’s no good way to do that reliably and easily, because the corporate world is run by douchebags with a rapists-mentality.
This is in the default (Standard) Firefox anti-tracking settings
