If you don't want to deal with cookie banners, there are browser extensions you can install to automatically accept them. However, although the cookie banners are sometimes a nuisance, it is still a good thing that people are informed and given the option to accept it or not.

I agree in general, but when I see a dialog box titled "We respect your privacy" and a choice between "allow all" or "see more", I donate 0.10 € to NOYB.

It’s usually “we value your privacy”, which always makes me think “you put a value on it, alright, can’t wait to take it away”.

If anything, every time I have to click through one of those banners I wish that activist organisations/politicians had to pay me for having to go through it.

Those extensions are far from perfect in my experience (ditto the lists in uBlock Origin)

Often leave you wondering why you can’t click anything on the page

https://consentomatic.au.dk/ also allows to reject them automatically.

If anything, there should be extensions to automatically reject them. It’s a testament to how draconian the process to do it usually is that the extensions just surrender. Every time an extension or person accepts those, they’re reinforcing those companies’ choice to break the law¹ in the name or profit.

¹ The GDPR is clear that rejecting must be as simple as accepting.
