Also getting rid of cookie banners doesn’t mean the site won’t track with third party cookies. The cookies are ON by default and until you tell them to turn it OFF, they keep the cookies on.

That’s a good point. However in the EU it should be the opposite - otherwise the site is violating GDPR.

Sometimes I have a feeling sites do whatever they want anyway regardless of bow many dark patterns I click through to find the “no” and “off” buttons because there are no real repercussions. Just like the “do not track” request and “robots.txt” are essentially useless.

  Damn then that’s great for EU users. You can really see how scummy these companies are on how they treat GDPR and non-GDPR countries.
