Some of it are bigger companies being deliberately obtuse and making it as hard as possible to uncheck the tracking cookies.

Then a bunch of mid-size companies who just do what the big guys do because if they do it, it must be fine.

If everyone who just use cookies for session tracking (which is perfectly fine) woulds stop asking, we could better differentiate the bad ones from the good ones.

Agreed. My experience was slightly different: we used cookies purely for login, and our legal person still just heard "cookies" and so we needed a consent popup.

If you really want to hear legal panic, say "GPL" in a sentence :D
