Does the GDPR define what the default behavior should be when the user refuses to specify? Does it vary by site? Is it like clicking either “Accept all” or “Reject all”?

Legally, the user has NOT allowed ANY cookies then. (The law still allows the technically needed ones)
But in practice, it is not easy to find out what a website does.
and in practice, if you want a website not to recognize you from one place to the next, you need to make it TECHNICALLY impossible for them to do that (depending on severity: private browsing, IP changing, Tor), not just legally declare you don’t want them to
I have a question, it’s maybe stupid but still:
Aren’t cookies, like, files on your device?? Can’t you just forbid websites to write anything to disk??
Legally, you are right.
Technically, browsers do not offer all settings that you can dream of.
Install privacy possom and be done with it I say. You can set it to auto reject those popups
