That's a very bad summary though. There absolutely are "Accept it or get lost." banners, but this one seems to offer a single-click "essential only" option without threatening to deny you access to the site if you pick it (unlike e.g. healthline ("At this time, we cannot provide the full site experience if you disallow any purposes, features, or partners. Instead, we will provide a version of our site that shows 10 of our most popular articles without ads, cookies, or tracking technologies.").

There is very rarely such a thing as "essential" cookies.

> PLEASE ADD BUSSWORDS AND OTHER BULLSHIT TO THIS: > We track everything you do on our site. Accept it or get lost.

Reverse: > Bullshit translator: We made an app that cuts the crap out of your writing. It's not revolutionary, it's just a fancy spell-check. But hey, at least you'll sound less like a pompous ass when you use it.

Again: > We made an app that edits your writing. It's basically spell-check on steroids. It'll make you sound less pretentious.

Again: > We made a glorified spell-checker. It'll stop you sounding like a pompous ass.

Again: > We made a fancy autocorrect. It'll keep you from sounding like a pretentious jerk.

Again: > We fixed your typos. You're welcome.

Again: > We changed your words without asking. Deal with it.

"Our values have units of currency."
