I ALWAYS go through them. Either reject, tediously try to find the hidden settings like legitimate interest. Lately I open some sites in incognito window, accept all, then close the window when I'm done. Some science mag I recently visited set 143!! cookies and that's before even showing the consent screen. I've also started to write scrapers for news sites I visit on a daily basis who go over the top with all the tracking and ads. So I "just" scrape their content and have written a frontend to read the content. Most of the time that content is just blown up but if there's something really interesting I have a link to the original article there and again open it in an incognito window. It has become such a chore, when ever I visit a new site on my phone and see a cookie screen, I navigate back and/or open an incognito window. What the EU should do is disallow those cookie full page modal consent windows. Many use overflow: hidden when showing it so you can't just adblock it without having to modify the markup. It has all gone out of hand.
