That was by far the most hostile cookie banner I've ever seen by a lot. It required multiple levels of saying no with a bid level of clicking reject a few hundred times. It wasn't worth it.

Unless you pay for the subscription you can't reject all of it anyway.

The full page reload after wasting all that time to realise I don't actually have a choice was a nice touch.

Note that this is considered not freely given consent by various data protection authorities, including the Dutch one (quite strongly; could find a source but would be in Dutch) and the European-wide collective of them (more weakly): https://www.edpb.europa.eu/news/news/2024/edpb-consent-or-pa... It's not like GDPR is new or dubiously worded on this aspect. They're willfully ignoring both ethical boundaries and the law

I don't know why people keep sending me / sharing Heise links. There's more than one news website in the world
