I use Temporary Containers on Firefox, so the cookies are deleted after I am done anyway.
I always click Accept All to make it go away, if I didn't have the uBlock filter that blocks the popups altogether.
Is that "Accept all cookies" or "Accept all our terms, not just about cookies but also our rights to your first born"? Did you check?
My point is that an "accept all" reflex isn't necessarily safe even if you don't retain cookies.
Given that we are talking about a website, what is the worst legal enforceable thing you could agree to in this way?
Things like “rights to your first born” are illegal and unenforceable.
“you must visit the site everyday from now on” is unenforceable.
“or we close your account” - they don’t need your consent for that
