Ban websites from making people pay a fee to reject cookies

I believe that this move by certain websites is a violation of our ability to freely give consent, and that we should not have to pay in order to limit the near constant tracking online that we are subjected to. I believe that making people pay for a subscription in order to access a website and have optional cookies rejected should not be acceptable under the law.
