I was not aware about this but stackoverflow shows me their consent box (and on every stack exchange site) everyday

This was driving me crazy too, turns out that my adblocker was breaking the consent box. Clicking “Accept” didn’t do anything.

The trick there is to use your adblocker to pick the consent box and hide it, and then edit the custom rule to apply to every site.

There are actually cosmetic filter lists for removing such elements from the page.

For uBlock Origin, go to the Dashboard, Filter lists tab, and look at the Annoyances lists.

Both Fanboy’s Annoyances and EasyList Cookie include ##.js-consent-banner, which deals with Stack Overflow’s huge obnoxious banner.

if that's μblock Origin, then

    ##.js-consent-banner
    ##.js-dismissable-hero

in your filter config does it.

I am having the same issue too on Mac Safari with AdGuard.
