  1. No there most definitely is not. Most banners have a big yes button, and you need to scroll to a settings button and then do five more things to not get cookies.

So true. And then you have Schibsted, Norways biggest media conglomerate; the only way to reject cookies is that you have to log in in order to reject it! According to the cookie law (no idea what it's called), it's illegal. It's been reported to the EU and Norwegian government numerous times, but nothing happens. Fuck Schibsted!!

In my experience a lot of italian (particularly "news") websites basically say "accept cookies or sign up for our paid subscription"

I meant it should be added as a default thing you have in every one of those things.
