To be fair, some websites do need certain cookies to function correctly. As a random example, if a user goes to their bank’s website, they’re more than likely not going to know what to enable/disable cookie wise so that the website is still functional for logging into their account. So I can understand lumping those actual essential cookies into one category in those instances. However, I agree that it’s almost certainly being abused.
Probably worth noting: Only things like non essential third party cookies need consent. Essential cookies for things like the users active session that are not shared don’t need a cookie banner.

Yeah. And sites are still more than happy to show those in the popup, just to muddy the waters and make it more complicated than it needs to be. Same with “legitimate interests”.
Good to know, thanks for pointing that out
Meanwhile the “Remember Me” checkbox only works on maybe half of the websites I use.
