The point of the 'annoy with consent banners' was to get people to 'allow (to be tracked) '.
Denying would, in many cases, go up to hundreds of yes/no options, with no 'deny all'. Makes getting coerced permission easy, and active denial almost impossible.
Of course, by not tracking, they dont need any of this crap. But surveillance capitalism must continue. Sigh.
