Cookie popups are bad, but they're pretty similar to a no smoking or no parking sign. In this case, it's the reverse. The whole internet bans cookies, but it informs you that you're entering a cookie zone.

It's given me fair warning that the site intends to track and monetize me, so I can walk away if I don't think it's worth it. And it adds a higher cost to it too.
