So what do you propose: "People are working around it so we should just give up"? I don't think it's time to admit defeat like that.

This can change, but enforcement and courts by nature are slow. With EU courts striking down asymptotic consent banners as illegal, sites are spooked, and you now see sites adding a "reject all" button next to the "accept all". I still have hope we get there.

Some reject all buttons don't set a cookie/localstorage for the rejection meaning the banner will be on every page, darkest of patterns!
