No. When I see a cookie banner that doesn't have a "Reject all" or at least "Reject non-necessary", I leave the website. When you look into the "Reject..." section, it often contains 1000+ of adtech shit you have to untick individually. Aren't these actually non-compliant with regulations? Makes you think twice about website owners if they choose to sell your data to adtech - seems like law does exactly what it was supposed to do. The problem is adtech which encourages to collect data websites have no business at collecting. If anything, non-compliant sites should be fined into ground and adtech outlawed.

If I could, I'd downvote the article.

Exactly.

People like the author are part of the problem. Blindly clicking consent is allowing site owners to bully you into consent. It works, so they keep doing it.

If you're going to blindly click anything it should be decline all.
