Haha :D yeah, it is a joke/pun on cookie consent banners.

The personal problem I have with cookie banners is that in order to _not consent_ they store a local cookie to not display the banner.

And the assumption of consent is by default, which is the exact opposite behaviour of what GDPR expects you to do. Nobody can consent by default to anything, that's the foundational basis of law in the EU.

I'm not using cookies for anything on my website, so there's no point in storing cookies. The Do Not Consent game is for people that want to play off some steam.
