Well, that would be ironically if a website announces not to store cookies (as a user I also expect nothing else on my computer) but then makes use of some pesistent storage.

Let's be honest: These badges which consume screen spaces are annoying and nobody ever reads them. I did not realize what it says (I automatically clicked the close box) before I read the main text of that No-Cookie website!

That's part of the point! I did intentionally try to design it similarly to a real cookie consent banner.

It just goes to show how ineffective they are if people just click without even reading them.

Could use LocalStorage as that's not technically cookies.
