Blocking the screen is annoying, though. I prefer the banner-style ones which you can actually almost ignore if you're "just" trying to do something super quick on one page and couldn't care less about the domain's cookie settings. Or don't even ask me about cookies until I've navigated to a second page. I'm not a GDPR expert but I assume that's an acceptable use of cookies without consent, to track whether more than one page has been visited yet. And I'm more likely to stay on your site without an immediate banner notice.
