I often decline their cookie bull, they'll just keep asking with every new page i load from that website. Preferably with a pop-up that covers 2/3rd of the screen.

If you can figure out which script is responsible for the pop-up, it's usually possible to block it by, for instance, feeding its URL to your ad blocker. Just takes a bit of patience.

I think but haven't done any proper investigations, that some sites only store your cookie response if you accept a certain kind of cookies. Basically every site now divides cookies up into functional, optimisation and marketing, and I have at least observed:

  1. go to website, receive prompt
  2. decline all non-required cookies
  3. go to next page within website, receive prompt again
  4. decline all but functional cookies (or similar wording
  5. go to next page, no prompt.

You're probably right about this.
