That's a very bad summary though. There absolutely are "Accept it or get lost." banners, but this one seems to offer a single-click "essential only" option without threatening to deny you access to the site if you pick it (unlike e.g. healthline ("At this time, we cannot provide the full site experience if you disallow any purposes, features, or partners. Instead, we will provide a version of our site that shows 10 of our most popular articles without ads, cookies, or tracking technologies.").
User authentication? While there are alternative methods, a very large proportion of website logins will not work properly if you reject all cookies and prevent them from setting a session identifier.
