I clicked their link to Knative so I could read about it. On the Knative webpage, the cookie banner pops up. I don't want to accept so I click "learn more". That expands the cookie banner to include a button that says "I understand how to opt out, hide this notice" as well as a link to a lengthy explanation of cookies. Well I don't want to click the button so I click the link to the cookie explanation. At the bottom of that page are more links to browser documentation that might eventually explain how to opt out, but I can't click those links because everything on the page is disabled - because the same cookie popup is on this page too. It blocks interaction, including clicking on their links about how to opt out, until you opt in. This stuff is getting worse.

Having to click “learn more” button is not compliant with GDPR, it should be as easy to not give consent as it is to give consent.

Google and Facebook were fined over this[1] and fixed their UI.

Many providers of cookie popups respect that too; possibly this will get better long term.
