Luckily they're usually poorly implemented and you can just "Inspect Element" + delete.

Although, in saying that, given the lack of official opt-out functionality, using the site will probably result in tracking.

Wasn't the point (or at least one of them) of the GDPR that the consent was to be opt-in?

Yes. So if they track you after you delete their consent overlay, you'd have grounds to complain about them to your data protection agency.
