An “accept” only cookie notice isn’t generally permissible in the EU.

They may be serving more compliant versions based on geolocation, though.

Many reasons:

- They are not asking for consent, there is just an ok button. - They assume consent when you navigate further on the site, this is not valid consent. - Consent needs to be for specific, well defined purposes. “help personalize content, tailor and measure ads and provide a safer experience” are three purposes in one and none of them are well defined. - They are probably already setting the cookies in your first request, when you have not seen any information yet (did not check)
