They’re terrible. Who are we kidding, no one has backed out of the website after seeing one of these notices.

  Of course people have. They don't state it clearly, but every cookie means: "By accepting this cookie you agree to be tracked on the Internet, and allow that data to be sold." (or, "We don't really understand cookie-law, and we didn't actually need to put this up".) Once you know that, it's easier to ask yourself: "Do I really need to read this? Also given that it's likely a sub-par publication, because tracking usually implies layouts and techniques optimised to keep you on the site and optimise data collection."

  I back out of them all time. Particularly the egregious dark-pattern ones: "Click this giant green button to let us track you out the wazoo, or click this tiny misleadingly-named link to drag you through a six-hour hell of settings dialogs which will drop you out without actually changing anything the instant it thinks it can get away with it."

    The vast majority of people are not backing out. They're instinctively clicking that button to get it out of the way, it's the new banner blindness.
