The perverse effect of these consent buttons is that people who configured their browsers to flush all cookies and session data on closing the session get harassed much more as websites do not remember their choice, even if they are the ones actually least likely to be tracked (save for browser fingerprinting).

Nail on head!

It's complete irony. I am seriously clicking through these ginormous modals like there is no tomorrow when i have to do research on many websites.

"Free surfing" or should we say old school internet surfing has become a chore now because of these idiotic modals.

I am sure people will flee to walled gardens pretty quickly if they have to constantly make extra clicks to access stuff.
