I'm one of those people that leave it open. I think I instinctively just avoid clicking on any pop up/over on a page.

That being said, I am curious what happens if you don't click "accept" on those ones. I'm assuming you're implicitly accepting by not leaving?

You can train uBlockOrigin to block them. A bit fiddly, and for every site, but that is my habit so I do not have to click 'accept'.
Or you can just use EasyList Cookie list.
Which isn't 100% perfect - I had it partially fail on several of the sites I visit leaving me with no way to view the sites, so disabled it.
If you're in GDPR territory, not clicking "accept" can not legally be taken as implicitly accepting.

Reality is all over the place.
