Just in case...

The various banners displayed are of varying quality but one of them is not like the others in a weirdly misleading way.

The banner with the green-red-blue buttons, has a green button that says "Accept Only Essential Cookies" and a red one that says "Reject Non-Essential Cookies" which are the same option. That is, this banner would "mislead" the user into accepting only essential cookies. Which is probably not a bad thing, but it feels improbable a site would do that.
