Other means of tracking will be implemented and the result will be the same.

Taking into account that most of the sites and online businesses use cookies and scripts for marketing purposes, the law will bring chaos and the results will bad for the end-user.

The law has come about in response to some pretty reasonable concerns about third party tracking and the potential for misuse of that data, all good reasons.

The long-term solution to the issue lies in the hands of browser vendors, but even if browsers were developed that could intercept attempts to drop cookies and present an opt-in, on the fly, it could be years until browsers are adopted by big corporate networks.

In the short term there are unobtrusive cookie consent solutions that can help.
