What annoys me..
taking up the screen space on load is not great when I am looking for a fast answer.. but I am okay with it being there for how important it could be.
The lack of standardization for what happens if you click more info or settings or whatever... that's annoying.. sometimes all the things are deselected already, sometimes not.. sometimes you have to scroll to see what's checked and what's not - and you have to read because it may be in a different order or wording than the others..
I often wonder if I wasted time by clicking more info - like - did the site already have it set for required only - all others unchecked? (highly unlikely)
Also - this is not the only tracking thing - so it's a wasteful false sense of security - all the third party assets being loaded are tracking and selling my privacy regardless of cookies.
It's also really bad, because some people amy believe they are private / annonymous if they click and select to stop tracking cookies.. well you are not.. and just like incognito mode (which still tracks you) - and just like setting 'do not track' - some people in the world may get a false sense of privacy and do things they may not if they understood ip addy stuff, browser fingerprinting, ISPs selling your stuff - third party assets and all that.
So it's good - but then it's bad, and then it's worse, imho.
we should have browser extension or settings that say "my cookie preference is: X ooo " and sites respect that and set to that.. and I'm fine with a reminder popup and ask if you can leave more cookie crumbs to support X Y or Z -
a few random thought I have when running into these things.
