I don't even have the words to express how little I care if companies serve me targeted ads with cookies. On the other hand I absolutely despise what the average visit to website with a cookie banner has become.
Blame the companies, not the regulations. A significant part of their reasoning behind byzantine stalking permissions banners is that they are deliberately inconveniencing people like you who don't care, so you can be weaponised against those of us who do in discussions about the regulations and related privacy matters.
