What if I don't want to "optimize" my "experience"? What if I'd rather your AI did not remember "my preferences"?
If a site is only issuing cookies for these reasons, then you need to be a better developer. Cookies, imo, should be reserved for logged in user experience, otherwise I suspect that you are information mining or just plain lazy. If you are information mining, then say so up front and let the visitor decide if she wants to support your efforts by donating her information for you to sell.

Italian wedding cake cookies, or Sand Torts as they are known in my family. My sister-in law makes great ones.
Chocolate Chips are good too. Chocolate-Chocolate chips are better in my opinion.

In that case the best option is to hope that either you or the webhost are subject to GDPR (or that the host has decided to follow it globally because they don't want to run multiple software variants). In that case you can just adblock all the cookie banners because unless you explicitly click yes, they can't deploy any spyvertizing cookies.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's what I do, but the pop-up to accept cookies has become ubiquitous, which means that instead of finding other ways to run their site, they prefer to annoy visitors to their site - or they are bad actors, wanting to catch me off-guard by irritating me like a toddler asking for a cookie - or like a child handing his mother his chewed gum (if she takes it, you know she's one stressed-out mama).

Oh Dear - I was afraid of that. I've never written one before.
I'll request tolerance ahead of time from the regular players please 
Also I'm in the central US so it may be an afternoon puzzle for the European members.

At least OG can relax in his birthday chair while he waits on our side of the world to wake up.

Or you could post it at midnight tonight (CST?) and wait for him to wake up!

As a thought exercise, I've asked "what is the purpose of the criminal? what is their niche?"
The way we organically operate, things find a niche or they stop being a thing, or at least not stably a thing, and yet crime exists in pretty stable numbers throughout most any human population.
So what does crime do? Well, one thing it might do is show us what we can and can't accept as a society.
Consider that designer drugs don't become illegal until they are made illegal. In this instance, the criminal innovates, and society eventually responds. It's an evolutionary process. Stagnation doesn't carry the day - change does - and crime evolves, so our system of rules and order evolves to compensate. Criminality keeps things moving forward, in a sense.
I don't think it will ever be possible to have a crime free society. If even in the hypothetical, such a society would experience stagnation - a kind of perfect death, as it becomes unable to adapt.
Now, that's the bigger picture.
Looking at tech security as a microcosm of this: The hackers keep us honest. It's not only the hackers that want to get up to espionage. That want to get up to theft. Hacking isn't the source of all crime, or all human desire to screw other humans over out of expediency. It's just one angle.
So consider that these hackers force us to harden our systems against them, and in doing so, harden them against the corporate thieves, for example (that also come in less techie forms)
We may not like them, but maybe we need them.

Sorry way too late here for any sort of thought exercise. I was only admiring what people can can do.
Would agree with many of your points and would love play Devil's Advocate, but not tonight.

I'm such a horrible cynic about videos like that. I always ask myself - "if I mastered life would making videos about it be how I spent my time?"
Consequently I never give them the time of day. Maybe that's why I'm such a mess.

I tend to be the same way. I have felt the power of her approach for myself, though, and her approach is worth being aware of. I believe it needs more of an intellectual foundation, in order to be even more powerful, but I haven't figured out the secret to that!
