Since you did not understand the point at all: There are regulations in place to force sites to "ask" for permissions to use cookies and track you. The point is that the regulations completely fail to force the sites to not blatantly lie, and wrap the "consent" with "we care".
That's just pedantic, because you know it is not the reality they choose. Most sites don't want to not track you. So they pretend they care about your privacy, and then proceed to collect and share data on you anyways.
Yeah, but it's galling we accept these big obvious lies in our society. A legitimate government would impose appropriately stern consequences for misleading and false advertising.

No site is forced to implement cookie consent. They all have the option to only use strictly necessary cookies without notification.
