My favorite cookie banner is on arstechnica.com:

228 partners should make anybody concious about the fact that something is wrong and you probably should not consent to that at all. Also, nobody cares about your privacy when they think sharing data with 228 parties is okay.
I've seen some sites, mainly in the video game field, that have even higher numbers such as 750. Do I want to share my info with your 750 partners? Um, no. Typically I just leave the site.
The typical wording is "We value your privacy". Which just means they think it's valuable and want a part of that pie thank you very much.
I like that! "We value your privacy. At about $.0003 per data point."
