If I see a pop-up, especially from "OneTrust", I immediately close the tab and re-open the site in Private/Incognito mode. There are some sites I just reflexively open that way. "Ars Technica" is but one example.

This includes the permission to link your behavior across "devices"? Iirc, it is quite trivial to link one Private-mode session to another.

  Not without breaking said laws

    Linking devices is one of the standard permissions normally. So if you give permission in one window and don't say anything in another, it probably counts as permission for both.

      I don't give permission even in private mode. If they do it anyway it's on them.

Closing the tab is good, but is it safe to assume, that they wont use fingerprinting, to map your "consent" (more like extortion) to future visits? Also they would still be tracking your incognito browser, if fingerprint is unique?

  Maybe they do, but they ask each visit, so these tracking companies at least maintain the illusion that they don't know who I am. Each time I say no.
