Despite this being called a "cookie banner", this is not _just_ about cookie. When you click "Accept all" you are giving your consent to any form of tracking and information sharing mentioned in the details. The site you visit may share everything they know about you with any third party they mentioned. They can even use fingerprinting (if you've agreed to it) to keep tracking you after you've deleted the cookies.
And then? What's the practical, concrete, real-life consequence for me? Nothing, not even a bit more relevant ads as these run into my adblocker anyway.
It's not only about you. It is about a practice, that is manipulative and even endangering certain kinds of people. By not caring about these things, we as a society have made the Internet a dangerous place in some regions for journalists and other types of people.
Yeah honestly I just assume sites fingerprint and track to the extent the visitors allow.
