I also applaud their user-respecting design choices. E.g. if your browser sets the DNT (do not track) header, they won't show a cookie consent banner and just assume you selected "reject all"

My sites don’t present a cookie banner to anyone, and don’t check for the DNT header. We simply don’t spy on our users. Any cookies we set are session and other “essential” cookies.
We do that for all sites we (a nonprofit / education / science / arts web agency) build. Seems like such a no-brainer to me - if someone has expressed a preference like that, you're only going to annoy them with a cookie popup, which they're most likely going to reject.
First time to see something like that oh god.
