I thought the cookie consent alerts were bad back in the states, but - WOW. If I lived here (visiting Europe), I would FAR rather have cookies just set and not be told about it vs. this level of in-your-face, at-every-turn COOKIE ALERT, without question. Oy.
@blakespot reminder that there is no "cookie banner law"; Companies interpreted the GDPR in this way to implement dark patterns to get people to consent
@cyrus @blakespot yep, if they only used essential cookies, they wouldn't need to inform us.
Anyway, this extension resolves the problem on most browsers: https://consentomatic.au.dk/
