Don't accept cookies from google.com or any subdomain, and you have
opted out.

But google could easily provide a URI where one click downloads
a cookie that opts you out of all analytics monitoring.

An optimist says the glass is half full.
An engineer says somebody made the glass
twice as big as it needed to be.

Not my experience. The small minority of websites that go blank when
I reject their cookie just don't get my business. There a large number
where rejecting a cookie deprives you of certain conveniences.
Most of the time, I do not need those conveniences and reject the
cookie. Unless it's a session cookie.

Google is in the convenience category.

The kfc Readme says it may take several passes to get rid of them all.
I wonder why.

In XMenu, I keep an alias for my Flash Player Preferences folder. It
takes only a moment to throw the two folders inside, into the Trash.
