EU citizen - I love it. Couple clicks to tell a website not to profile me is nothing. You already are rejecting mailing lists and offers everywhere, what's one more thing.

I don't get spam mailing lists or robocalls. I can safely sign up to services knowing I will be able to unsubscribe easily. I can buy things online knowing they can be easily returned.

Yes, some of my clients lament the inability to use those patterns. I politely smile and nod.

Not strictly true. I get robocalls and WhatsApp spam messages from country code +1 all the time.

Also with an ad blocker, see if you can turn on hiding the banners. Without you clicking "yes" they can't use consent for a reason, so this is equivalent to clicking "no".
