I think it's the first law that companies will take seriously as it has % penalty instead of traditional "part of doing business" fine.
GDPR has that, too
But GDPR had severe loopholes. Like not forcing a reject all cookie button
It does force it, if I’m not mistaken. Rejecting all should be as easy as accepting all. The problem is with enforcement.
Google got severely fined for not making the reject all button as easy to click as the accept button. Now YouTube has the reject button 1-click in Europe

I don't understand where and how I need to file complaints. I live in France and Belgium, and have encountered several large and popular websites which enforce a "cookie wall". This does not appear to respect the cookie law.

@Kidplayer_666 it does? specifically says withdrawal of consent must be as easy as giving it. just not properly enforced.
GDPR has either up to € or %.
The fines in the DSA are enormous: up to 6% of WORLDWIDE turnover.
