A start would be to require sites to remember non-consents for at least as long as they remember consents. Why do I have to be asked about cookies by every site every month?
That sort of thing is stored in a cookie.
You don't need permission for that particular one, though, it's site functionality and the user can reasonably expect that that kind of thing gets remembered.
Lots of stuff doesn't need permission, when you're seeing a banner either you're dealing with someone clueless, or they want to track you. Or both, of course.
No cookies storing your answer
No, they set a cookie to store it, but with a low retention period, so you get bugged again.
Because you are cleaning your cache/cookies and wiping out the record of your selection, or outright rejecting them so they are never saved to begin with.
