On my phone I use a browser, Firefox Focus, that wipes all saved state every time it's used. That means no cookies and the banners are always there fresh.
I didn't pick it specifically out of concern for tracking. I just tried it and found it nice to use, and it gives a little more peace of mind, so I made it the default
So like you, I browse with the banners because they are always there anyway and there's no point clicking them.
If a big one is in the way, I'm reluctant to take the easy route and pseudo-"agree" even knowing that all local state is wiped when I finish reading that page. Just because the insidious trackers might take it as pseudo-"consent" to use other tracking techniques that go beyond browser state.
But who am I kidding. Such trackers are unlikely to respect the law or the stated intentions of people browsing anyway.
