Pure madness! Thanks, web developers.
There were three confirmation dialogs. Two of which we can blame the developers/company [1], one we can blame the EU’s good intentions but terrible execution idea.

Please, can we get rid of cookie warning? If we we want to do something, let's regulate the path browser makers are already pursuing on third party cookies.
Beides some degree of misunderstanding most sides which show you a cookie (or GDPR) banner or similar do so _because they track you_.
So why not instead stop tracking people all the time?
The fact that you see banners everywhere should be a warning about how messed up the state of the web is.
Also as a side note it's most times not even tracking for basic aggregate statistics but tracking and sharing unaggregated data with many other companies to a degree which strongly reduces your privacy _much below the point of privacy you have in real life_!
and advertisement is the reason. the pest of the internet.
