Skimming the article is the same as reading it in full - they just want to place their cookies, and clicking the link is enough to do that if you don't go through all the settings including turning off all the "legitimate interest" options - and that is often a pain to do.

Consentomatic? I love that extension.

The one I use is called "I don't give a fuck about cookies".

So do I, but it doesn't turn off the legitimate interest on a lot of sites. I suspect that the cookie corps are working hard to circumvent it.
