Worth mentioning leaving immediately without reading won't prevent them tracking you (they've presumably already done that before you started reading the banner).

Which is why such banners are generally* not considered compliant with most privacy regulations & are largely put in place out of ignorance/general misinformation around what regulations require.

* Depending on what the cookies are doing it's entirely possible this website might not need to get any consent or even inform users at all - the banner does nothing for them either way.

A cookie bar with all the annoyance with none of the compliance. What's the point.

It's an illegal implementation of GDPR meant to act as compliance theater while at the same time making users resent the law as much as the sites do.

For bigger sites like YouTube which can't get away with it as much, there's a "Reject All" button that you can click straight away.

At least three options to retrieve this without without Javascript or cookies and view in a popular browser. Example script below. Tested with p7zip and Info-Zip unzip. BSD libarchive unzip should work, too.

NB. This cookie banner annoyance does not work in text-only browser such as links. It only works when using popular browsers.

Uncomment one of the OPTIONS. Then, assuming script is "1.sh",

    sh 1.sh > 1.htm
    firefox ./1.htm
