Also, a lot of people forget that you don't need a cookie popup. apple.com or tesla.com doesn't have one. Plenty of others, but they're quite rare.
I absolutely hate unnecessary cookie popups, e.g. when you're already signed in and have accepted privacy policy. Or, when accessing a parcel tracking service or similar.
It's always annoying, but there are clear cases when you don't need to track users and it probably just drives them away or makes them angry.
