I concede that cookie banners are not helpful here. I also admit that I rarely see them anymore, as uBlock Origin removes them for me. I probably shouldn't have assumed that the web I see is the web everyone else sees.
I have uBlock Origin (mind, with the default settings). I also have the Consent-O-Matic autofill extension that's supposed to reject cookies automatically for me.
Neither of them seems to catch cookie dialogs on some german sites. Not that I want uBlock to hide the cookie dialogs, I want them explicitly rejected by the other extension.
Consent-O-Matic does automatically reject most crap on english and romanian sites so I guess they haven't added support for whatever cookie dialog zeit.de uses (and that's popular on german sites?).
> both accept and reject kinda look the same to me
I bet that's very intentional too, and there are other ways to phrase it in German so the two options don't look similar.
Well, I opened them in a plain browser profile and in the non-translated page the options seem clear to me? The buttons literally say this:
- Settings / Einstellungen
- Accept / Akzeptierten
- Reject All / Alle Ablehnen
The English translation is on the buttons in the non-translated page and those translations are fine. There's even a reject all button, which is fine too. The only not so nice thing is that the "Accept" button is coloured green.

Again, I don't want to defend those banners.
