It was fun to do what the cookie banner says and leave without reading.

A cookie bar with all the annoyance with none of the compliance. What's the point.

  At least three options to retrieve this without without Javascript or cookies and view in a popular browser. Example script below. Tested with p7zip and Info-Zip unzip. BSD libarchive unzip should work, too. NB. This cookie bar annoyance does not work in text-only browser such as links. It only works in popular browsers running CSS and JS. Uncomment one of the OPTIONS. Then, assuming script is named "1.sh", sh 1.sh > 1.htm firefox ./1.htm #!/bin/sh #OPTION1=biriukov.dev #OPTION2=raw.githubusercontent.com #OPTION3=codeload.github.com REPO=brk0v.github.io if test $OPTION3 then curl -A "" -o$REPO-master.zip https://$OPTION3/brk0v/$REPO/zip/master fi for x in \ 0-sre-should-know-about-gnu-linux-shell-related-internals-file-descriptors-pipes-terminals-user-sessions-process-groups-and-daemons \ 1-file-descriptor-and-open-file-description \ 2-pipes \ 3-process-groups-jobs-and-sessions \ 4-terminals-and-pseudoterminals do if test $OPTION2 then echo url=https://$OPTION2/brk0v/$REPO/master/docs/fd-pipe-session-terminal/$x/index.html elif test $OPTION1 then echo url=https://$OPTION1/docs/fd-pipe-session-terminal/$x/ elif test $OPTION3 then #7z x -so $REPO-master.zip $REPO-master/docs/fd-pipe-session-terminal/$x/index.html /usr/sbin/unzip -p $REPO-master.zip $REPO-master/docs/fd-pipe-session-terminal/$x/index.html fi done|if test $OPTION1 then curl -A "" -K- elif test $OPTION2 then curl -A "" -K- elif test $OPTION3 then cat rm $REPO-master.zip fi|sed 's/<script//g;s/cookie.css//g;s/cookie.js//g'

  It's an illegal implementation of GDPR meant to act as compliance theater while at the same time making users resent the law as much as the sites do. For bigger sites like YouTube which can't get away with it as much, there's a "Reject All" button that you can click straight away.

Worth mentioning leaving immediately without reading won't prevent them tracking you (they've presumably already done that before you started reading the banner). Which is why such banners are generally* not considered compliant with most privacy regulations & are largely put in place out of ignorance/general misinformation around what regulations require. * Depending on what the cookies are doing it's entirely possible this website might not need to get any consent or even inform users at all - the banner does nothing for them either way.
