Yes, but I think I have clicked on at least 10 accept/close/ignore/okay buttons today. As I have almost every day, it's a never ending battle. Multiple machines, mobile devices, cookies do sometimes expire (ironically), I might clear my cookies etc. Further, the cost of one paragraph in flowing text is quite different to blocking modals or boxes going along with your scrolling blocking large portions of the screen. Why not toss in a 100 page EULA on every page while we're at it? I strongly believe that the effective outcome (i.e how "much" people are tracked on the web) would be identical if GDPR had a provision that allowed sites to a) track as before by default and b) provide opt-out and transparency via a footer link, similar to German laws about Impressum. Most people won't opt-out, nor read details, but all people have to click accept all the damn time.
