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.

Good to know, thanks for pointing that out
Meanwhile the “Remember Me” checkbox only works on maybe half of the websites I use.
