All I know is that at this point I'm getting Cookie Rage every time I have to click on those cookie consent popups. Some are better than others. Some are so bad I give up and leave the site (Admiral, I'm looking at you). It's so annoying I don't even bother reading or thinking about what I'm clicking, which in effect reaches the opposite outcome of what these cookie consents were meant to do. None of them remember my choice, none of them are "not annoying". I get annoyed just "talking" about it...

Agreed. The status quo seems not helpful to the majority of people

    Thank you both. Sanity might be salvagable!

See, you rage against the Cookies - I rage against the braindead politicians who made them basically mandatory and a legal framework that allows malevolent actors to use even slightest hints of (disputable) violations to ruin me if I don't have a banner. It made me a proponent of leaving the EU. Not because I don't think European unity would be beneficial, but because the current implementation is deeply faulty and little more than a convenient scapegoat of national governments pushing through changes they are too afraid of doing at home without democratic oversight.

  I hear you. And I understand. I chose to remain but I get and accept the choice to leave as well. I'm not disputing the law around it is insane. I'm finding myself more and more ticked off every time I get a consent banner. The more I get ticked off the more I forget why that banner is there.

> Some are so bad I give up and leave the site That's fine if you ask me. If you can't understand that popup, the site is user hostile and you shouldn't give them your business.
