I've come up with an easy solution, which works almost all the time. When a cookie consent dialog interferes with me using the website, I close the tab and move on.

I've found a high correlation between cookie consent notices and low-signal content, so this strategy has actually saved me a lot of time I would've spent reading/watching something that doesn't help me.

How do you book airline tickets? Ir other critical business ? My doctors office has a cookie banner . Should I just stop going ?

That's why I said "almost all of the time".

But to the flights example, I was just looking for flights starting at Google Flights, which doesn't have cookie banners, and the two sites I went to for booking also did not have cookie banners.

Yeah I agree, that sentiment works if you only consume content online. But for real stuff? Good luck
