The problem is that companies which do that kind of dark patterns are very likely to ignore your settings anyway in the future. Like, for example, Amazon.

What then comes to my mind is the thought: "Well, would I try to do an ongoing delicate business with a well-known notorious asshole and trickster?". Obvious answer is "no".

So, in most cases, I just leave that site.

Anything that refuses to let me view content without setting cookies is ignored here. Sorry, no matter how good your content is, it’s not that good.

Shady sites that use dark patterns are about to go the same route.

And I have privacy badger, uBlock origins, as well as Pi-hole/PFBlockerNG (not at the same location). Our phones have ad blockers as well, though I doubt they’re as effective.
