Nah, cookie banners are a malicious compliance tactic adopted by the advertising industry after they got told they can’t surveil the whole of the internet without consent.
The bureaucrats are actually hard at work to get rid of cookie banners in the very near future, making it obligatory to follow an in browser setting. You click decline once on install, and that’s it is the plan.

These same policy wonks tell you to wear a seat belt because that’s (proven) good for you; as is not smoking. They tell everyone ELSE not to speed because those wonks know everyone else is a terrible driver, and that’s better for you. These are the types who maintain building code and human rights and legal process because - yep - it’s better for you.
There’s a trend, here. I get that we sometimes feel opposition to things, but when there is science behind it - sit DOWN, RFKjr and the rest of you whackadoos - it’s usually good to go with it.
