Why click anything on the banner at all? I either ignore it, leave the page, use Firefox's reader mode, or delete the DOM node. uBlock Origin has a nice "zapper" feature to do that last option quickly and painlessly. Even sites with full-page overlays usually load the actual page behind the overlay, so you can just delete the node if you really want to keep using the site.
