Sure, I know why everyone has to show them legally. But if noone reads them really, and mindlessly clicks through, then it serves 0% of the intended purpose. Protection measure what does not do anything really useful (just avoiding regulatory fine) is worse as it is just a big waste and false sense of being informed?
Another working idea from me would be that if someone really hates cookies, and somehow manages to live over consequences. then these should be just disabled in the browser side, either globally or per site. Server-side cookie warning solution is prime sample of wasteful privacy theater, nothing more.
