The browser is designed so that a website gets one chance to ask for that permission, rather than nag every single time you visit.

If it's not a dark pattern to ask again every time you hit Deny, then why don't they do it again every time you hit Allow?

It’s a trick to try to take a yes / no choice and sneakily turn it into a “yes / ask me again later” choice. Silicon Valley in general seems to have a huge problem with the idea of user consent and permanently revoking consent.

Perhaps I phrased my response poorly, but yes, that's basically what I meant.
