So browsers have started to roll out GPC, or basically browser-based consent. This was explicitly designed to deal with intrusive cookie banners.

These banners are so big as to obscure the majority of the content on the site.

Exactly. I’d like to opt out right now. I already opted out.
Apparently these sites missing a “reject all” button aren’t legal. I filed a complaint. If you come across these, you should too:
