I only got cookie banners on the first two links and they were extremely unobtrusive. You did not make the point you had hoped to make.

I mentioned in another comment that the "apology" and humanization of the error messages doesn't bother me, but I have to admit that the frowny face and the infantilizing messages DOES make me irrationally irritated.
