In case whoever operates the site is reading this: you have to add a way to dismiss the cookie consent banner without agreeing to the use of cookies, otherwise it makes it harder to use the site by partially obstructing the content, at which point it's no longer consensual and you might as well just set those cookies without asking. Don't try to be cute about privacy laws. It doesn't fly.
