depends on the site.
legally you’re assuming the correct way it’s supposed to work in a lot of jurisdictions but in practice who actually litigates these sorts of things?
people get away with it all the time.
there’s also tons of sites hosted in places where it’s totally legal to just have cookies with any user from anywhere with or without consent, those might have a permission banner just as a UX thing to make the site feel more “familiar” or “official”. learning how whole contemporary stack works, at least broadly speaking, is one of the only remaining ways to actually be proactive. knowledge is power.
