I thought the cookie consent alerts were bad back in the states, but - WOW. If I lived here (visiting Europe), I would FAR rather have cookies just set and not be told about it vs. this level of in-your-face, at-every-turn COOKIE ALERT, without question. Oy.

@blakespot reminder that there is no "cookie banner law"; Companies interpreted the GDPR in this way to implement dark patterns to get people to consent

@cyrus @blakespot yep, if they only used essential cookies, they wouldn't need to inform us.

Anyway, this extension resolves the problem on most browsers: https://consentomatic.au.dk/

@jowek
Consent-o-Matic does the trick for Firefox 123.0.1 (64-bit) for me (on Pop!_OS Linux), but I'm aware that "it works on my system" means little in the grand scheme of things. :D
