As someone with "not-so-tech-savvy" users on my website, this is bound to get ignored a lot. I have seen screenshots of my users (when they need support) and they dont even click "Okay" on the Cookie bar (to accept cookies and stuff) and / or any notification on the website (Not the Push Notification).

Is there a reason you have a cookie bar? The idea of a 'click ok' bar should be dead since GDPR adjusted the law. If it's not for tracking then you don't need a bar. If it is for tracking then whenever possible the site should work without opting in.
I think for commonly requested permissions that are not commonly accepted, they should just use a smaller, more discreet icon for notifying the user; one that doesn't hang down over the chrome and block/cover up the site. That way, it can be easily ignored.
It should be more obvious than the one they're using in that solution. Maybe something equivalent to an icon next to the refresh button or something. The text icon they had in #1 was probably /too/ easy to ignore.
